OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES certainly took many corners of music world by storm last year, including here at TMT, where it topped our year-end list. But despite what the Illuminati running the Grammy Awards might want you to believe, that’s not where it all started for SOPHIE. 2013’s “Bipp” was one of our favorite singles that year, while “Hard,” “Lemonade,” and the rest earned kudos from this website at the time of their individual unveilings. And when compilation PRODUCT came out, fans were grateful for something resembling a full-length, even if SOPHIE initially didn’t concoct it with that intention.
My point? The bevy of new fans that she earned courtesy of UN-INSIDES would do well to check out the older stuff, lest they miss out on the minimalist album art and the opportunity to log what’s still the best SOPHIE track ever created (a.k.a. “Bipp,” FYI).
Fortunately, the Numbers imprint just did the noobs and non-noobs alike a solid. PRODUCT has just been reissued in its original form, as four vinyl singles. Go ahead and buy that product here and now, alongside the CD and digital versions if you’re too lazy busy dancing to change vinyls.
PRODUCT tracklist:
Vinyl 1 - BIPP/ELLE
Vinyl 2 - LEMONADE/HARD
Vinyl 3 - MSMSMSM/VYZEE
Vinyl 4 - L.O.V.E./JUST LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE
