SOPHIE - OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES

Score: 9.4 

The debut album from the Scottish DJ, producer and now singer-songwriter Sophie Xeon is monumental in all its transcendence. There's an immaculate precision in the songs' elaboration, transition and content, and there's a convulted tenderness behind the thousands of naughty layers of harsh electronica. Mozart's Sister, the owner of the uncredited vocals, does a fantastic job in bringing bittersweet humanity into the cathartic lyrics and musical constructions. And the self-developing, self-triumphant general process is not the less astonishing, standing (maybe even ironically) as a pure humane manifesto. The future is here, and it belongs to Sophie, an artist who's proved to be one of the most sensational and captivating minds in 21st-century music as protest and as art life-form.
