Sophierce returns with “Senescence,” an ethereal electronic single released on September 25, 2026. Blending indie electronic, electronica and alternative dance, the track explores identity, validation and the freedom that comes from letting go of the versions of ourselves we create to gain acceptance from others. Written and produced entirely by Sophierce, “Senescence” draws from a deeply personal experience of questioning how much of her identity had been shaped by the desire to be liked, accepted and validated. Over time, different versions of herself emerged to meet those expectations, from being agreeable and appearing perfect to attaching importance to material possessions,…

Built around shimmering lead guitar and soaring vocal harmonies, “Happy Hour” balances its melancholic subject matter with a warm, uplifting sound.

Entirely produced, performed, and mixed by Addi himself, the seven-track project emerged from a period of upheaval and ultimately centres around a simple but hard-earned realization: everything changes, and that’s okay. The larger record began taking shape after Addi lost his father three years ago. Within six months, his mother and brother had moved out of the country and his former band, Lost in Japan, had broken up. Faced with several major changes at once, he…

His sound combines rap, melodic vocals, rock instrumentation, and cinematic elements, with each musical choice serving the story rather than conforming to a particular genre. In this interview with Spinex Music, Elias Dream…
