Sophia Bel unveils new single 2AM (And I Did It Again) along with its analog video shot in the UK

Sophia Bel is back with the single 2AM (And I Did It Again), available today. With this new track, the Montreal-based singer-songwriter and producer elevates her early 2000s emo pop by incorporating alternative influences reminiscent of 90s bands.

On 2AM (And I Did It Again), Sophia vocalizes her difficulty with expressing herself in real life, keeping it all in and delaying a storm of withheld emotions and questions. She conveys the paralyzing fear of being unable to speak your truth, which then leads to feeling ready to implode. Along easygoing alt-rock soundscapes, she shares the solace obtained from songwriting, a discipline whose therapeutic effects helped her gain a better understanding of herself throughout the years. Staying true to her teenage pop roots, Sophia Bel vocalizes her fears and realizes that she uncovers her truth when she’s writing, describing that awakening on the song through contrasting bright and catchy pop lyrics. 2AM and I did it again / Broke my hand trying to say it with a pen / Putting up a fight no one heard at night / Sleeping in, she sings on the highly addictive chorus.

Shot with a small super 8 camera, the music video that accompanies the song follows Sophia Bel as she wanders around Central London, Windsor and the Birling Gap coast in the UK. The colorful and playful images mirror Sophia’s dynamic universe using impactful contrasts through drastically different styling and various locations. Showcasing multiple facets of her personality, Sophia goes on an adventure through the city hitting up iconic monuments and doing quintessential English things like enjoying Afternoon Tea, while the impressive coastal landscapes and white cliffs of Birling Gap add a cinematic feel to the video.
