♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you for sharing. I relate so much! The reason I invoke The Knife's Silent Shout in the bitsy is because I had a similar moment when I heard Karin's pitched vocals and it was so visceral and strange I had no idea that electronic music could make me feel that way. Flash forward to the years you describe and SOPHIE was one of the few artists I felt was breaking new ground through her tireless dedication to pushing electronic music further and further while also keeping it hot and fun (and vulnerable!) as opposed to cold and dull. Have others come close since, three years later? Maybe?? I think most are still trying their very hardest to emulate and/or chase SOPHIE but they haven't caught up yet. "You don't know what you've got til it's gone." Goodness I miss SOPHIE too!!!!
