Born in California to Iranian and Austrian parents, and now residing in Vienna, Stones Throw signee Sofie Royer is doing things a little differently to most. This electro pop magic finds Royer navigating "capitalist trappings, existential uncertainties, and constant feeling that you’re out of step with other people your age", while redefining the highs'n'lows that come with being a Young-Girl Forever. - Flying Out
Young-Girl Forever is the shimmering new electro-pop album by Vienna-based artist Sofie Royer. It follows her 2020 debut, Cult Survivor, and 2022’s Harlequin. The album paints a bold portrait of how it is to be a female artist today – amid capitalist trappings, existential uncertainties, and constant feeling that you’re out of step with other people your age. Royer borrowed the term “Young-Girl” from Preliminary Materials for the Theory of a Young-Girl, originally published in French anarchist journal Tiqqun. The book portrays the Young-Girl as a symbol of consumerism under modernity. Young-Girl Forever oscillates between optimism and doom – it celebrates the Young-Girl while also rebuking the culture that created her, and so expresses desire for true liberation.
