Philine Sonny’s highly anticipated new EP Invader will be released March 1st of 2024 and is the successor to her beloved debut, Lose Yourself. Coupled with Invader’s announcement is “Drugs,” the stirring, vivid, fanciful exploration of a life not lived but gone wanting. “Drugs” fills your veins and clouds your mind with warm hazy reverbed guitar and surreal layered vocals. This is epitomized in the opening moments, the song strikes you with choral vocals that put you off balance and makes your heart skip a beat, inducing an altered state for you to inhabit for the duration of the song. Philine’s lyrics are vivid and yearn for the unlived shadow life, filled with unfettered whims and fulfilled passions. Growing up in a small town in Germany, Sonny’s roots are in her bedroom where she developed her sound, art and lust for a life outside that small town where she never quite felt like she belonged. Here is Sonny talking about the evocative sensations and world shifting fervor her new single contains:
“‘Drugs’ is the soundtrack to the movie playing in your head. It’s a romanticized idea of what life would look like if one was bold and reckless enough to let go of fear and daring to lose everything for the sake of feeling alive.”
