Sophie Coran, Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter and composer, has never let heartbreak keep her from speaking her truth. It’s the fuel to the fire behind her self-described noir & b sound, and the backing track to her 2021 album, S P A C E. A brutally honest lyricist and classically trained pianist, Coran’s sound gravitates toward the symphonic, with no shortage of textural, disciplined phrases. To listen to a Sophie Coran track is to listen to a pop-infused symphony.
