Its piano driven and awash with wavering high scales - effortlessly reached by the pitch perfect vocals of the artist herself. NERINA PALLOT’S new single Sophia (pronounced So-Fire) follows up the Top 20 hit ‘Everybody’s Gone To War’, and it’s as radio friendly as a bacon butty on a breakfast show.
Nerina’s delivery is looped around a revolving chorus hook designed to stick in your head and stay there. With a dash of country here and a little bit of rock n’ roll there, this mid tempo ballad seeks a place in your heart, or your head via the door marked ‘inoffensive’. It’s everything that mainstream music should be – safe, middle of the road, and somewhat beguiling, with a throwaway structure that proves perfect for airing what is an undoubted talent for song.

It has, again, got Top 20 written all over it. Whether that’s a good thing is less clear, but with so little to offend about it, this could well find it’s way into your bathtime repertoire via the back door
