Avant-Pop Producer Sophie Dead at 34 After ‘Sudden Accident’

Sophie, the avant-pop artist who produced singers like Madonna and Charli XCX and released the acclaimed 2018 album Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides, has died at the age of 34.

The Scottish-born musician’s management confirmed the death in a statement to the Guardian, stating that Sophie died following a “sudden accident” early Saturday morning in Athens, Georgia.

Sophie was “a pioneer of a new sound, one of the most influential artists in the last decade. Not only for ingenious production and creativity but also for the message and visibility that was achieved. An icon of liberation,” Sophie’s management said.

“At this time respect and privacy for the family is our priority. We would also ask for respect for her fanbase, and to treat the private nature of this news with sensitivity.”

Sophie’s U.K. label Transgressive tweeted Saturday, “True to her spirituality she had climbed up to watch the full moon and accidentally slipped and fell. She will always be here with us.”

Chris of Christine and the Queens tweeted, “Sophie was a stellar producer, a visionary, a reference. She rebelled against the narrow, normative society by being an absolute triumph, both as an artist and as a woman. I can’t believe she is gone. We need to honor and respect her memory and legacy. Cherish the pioneers.”
