Sophia Bel opens up about addiction on the new emo-hyperpop track No Sleep
Today, singer-songwriter and composer Sophia Bel releases No Sleep, the third single off Anxious Avoidant Deluxe which is scheduled for release on February 10th, 2023 via Bonsound. An album launch show will be held on the same evening at Quai des Brumes, as part of the Taverne Tour festival.
On No Sleep, Sophia Bel explores the inner workings of her cannabis addiction and its impact on her personal relationships. The emo-hyperpop track addresses the way that addictive behavior to a substance can manifest itself within a romantic relationship and have a devastating impact on it.
Written by Sophia Bel and co-produced remotely with Casey MQ, No Sleep allowed the singer-songwriter to deliver a song with her signature vulnerability all while stepping outside of her comfort zone thanks to her collaborator’s refreshingly modern input.
Anxious Avoidant Deluxe arrives a few months after the original release, which came out in May 2022. Critically acclaimed upon its release, the album recently earned a spot on several music media's year-end lists, including RANGE Magazine, Exclaim! and CJLO. The six previously unreleased songs featured on Anxious Avoidant Deluxe – including collaborations with Ariane Moffatt and Makk Mikkael – expand the musical palette of the album, demonstrating the full range of Sophia Bel's influences and songwriting talent.
