Sophie Strauss Rips Apart The Myth Of The Male Genius

New song 'Aphids' isn't about being anyone's muse...

Los Angeles songwriter Sophie Strauss does it her own way.

Upending convention and seeking out new spheres, her work has a touching lilt, and a devastating observational sense.

New project 'Hard Study' is incoming, with Sophie ready to share coruscating cut 'Aphids'.

A song about "feeling frustrated as fuck about the mythology of male genius and the leeway it affords men", it deftly moves beyond the barriers in her way.

She continues: "I wrote 'Aphids' as a rejection of the mythology of Male Genius and all the monstrous behaviour that title covers for. I think we are all done being anyone's muse."
