Sofi Vonn is entering a new creative phase with "Selfish," a well-known song from her upcoming second EP, "Lucky with a Side of Depression", which marks the moment when the door is fully open. Malthus, a rising star in the music industry, made the song in London, and it has a thrilling mix of confidence and uncertainty, where planned tension brings emotion and production together.
Vonn's latest project is an indie-pop song full of haze and electronic sounds. "Selfish" really brings that idea to life. At its heart, it has a thoughtful moodiness, not a creepy one for show, but a thoughtful one that makes you feel like you're in a late-night setting with headphones on. Instead of trying to get the listener's attention, synth textures slowly unfold, creating an atmosphere around them.
"Drive," the EP's lead single, hinted at progress, but "Selfish" captures a moment of peace when self-reflection is not only allowed but necessary. Sofi's songs are personal and honest, and the dreamy production highlights their emotional clarity like a soft ray of light. "Selfish" is mainly about the fight that goes on inside you when you're selfish. Instead of just talking about what selfishness is, it explores topics like longing, boundaries, desire, and the subtle pain that comes from caring too much.
The music in "Lucky with a Side of Depression" is in a place where sadness and beauty go together. The project explores the conflict between hope and burden, and "Selfish" does a good job of illustrating it. It's interesting, real, and ethereal.
