If there were ever a soundtrack for walking through a park on summer's day, So Sofia by The Musgraves would surely be a strong contender. Taken from their upcoming debut EP, Lost in Familiarity, So Sofia breathes a new precedent of integrity into the roots-pop genre. It's a charming little folk-pop tune spring-loaded with handclaps, backing shouts and a cheery melody that can't help but provoke a good mood vibe.
The song gleans influence from the 50s and 60s pop scene with claim to the likes of The Crystals, The Ronettes and The Beach Boys. This roots-pop chirpiness is then given its folk twist stemming from inspirations of English and American folk blues with the use of banjos, mandolins and fiddles.
