Sophie and the Giants | Monsters | Single Review

Sophie and the Giants have recently released a new single, entailing an electric-rock hybrid. The title of the song is Monsters and has a really different approach to the rock genre as the sound is very modern and different from some bands we here daily, but there is still similarities to other artists too. 

In particular, Sophie (vocals and guitar) has got an amazing vocal range that reminded me of Florence Welch, front woman of ‘Florence and the Machine’. The strong vocals give a sense of passion and excitement for this new, upcoming band. Moreover electric sounds at the beginning also reflect on the newness Sophie and Athena Giants are bringing to the music scene. One specific element I love about this band is the front woman appeal. Personally, I wish we had many more bands with women vocals and/or a front women due to the lack of female attention in the rock music industry. I believe that women in bands should not be seen as something new or different, (even though they usually are) we should be seeing it as something normal. The powerful music I have heard from Sophie and the Giants, especially “Monsters”, which has definitely proved that it is completely normal for a lead female role to be apart of a band as it results with a new sound, a mild punk appearance and very cool music overall. Sophie and the Giants are one to look out for.
