Sophia Clark is an enthusiastic creator living in Guelph, Ontario. Her 2020 album, Minimalist, is a gorgeous 8-track collection to captivate you with resonant harmonies and stories to soundtrack your inner life. Apricot Eyelids is the lead single from Minimalist, followed by If This Is It (Cottage Song). Sophia's music is a deeply thoughtful exploration of how to move through a complicated world with a tender, sometimes aching, heart. You’re likely to catch yourself humming her songs while looking out the window of a train imagining your life is a movie montage (we all do that!) or while snuggled by a woodstove with a warm mug in hand.
 

Her lyrics offer careful observations of the everyday as though they could shatter if she were to choose the wrong word. Sophia’s voice is clear and kind and simple in its delivery, with her choral background made obvious in the harmony arrangements on many of her recorded songs. Count yourself lucky to hear her played on local radio stations, with her songs transfiguring your usual drive home into something worthy of leaving on the engine for after you park just so that you can finish listening through to the final note.
