SOPHIE's sense of humor really shined through here. It's an uncomfortable raising of awareness about how plastic we appear to each other through social media, but also she had this tripped out "Under The Skin" vibe. She seemed to know how to poke some fun and ridiculousness into the whole ordeal. Love you SOPHIE, rest in power!
@@Hyacinth77 It’s a way of saying they were independent. Instead of looking at death as “She’s gone”and being miserable about it, it’s thinking about it as she’s still doing something great in the afterlife.
i think the message is the exact opposite - more of a question of whether or not authenticity even means anything. if ur achieving who you desire to be through plastic surgery, isn’t that authentic?
i’m literally crying. never felt this way about an artist passing away, but sophie really meant something to me and all of us. an absolute icon in the hyperpop community. you will be missed😭❤️

This song is one of the most pleasantly unusual songs I ever heard. Like I never listened to anything like it and I am LOVING it. Her instrumentals are INSANE. And those dreamy vocals midway through the song ugh so good.

@@fatboy462 It's just vague plus English isn't my native language. "Artificial bloom", it gives hormone replacement therapy and transitioning which is all artificial TBH. What did you interpret in that phrase? ;-;
@@noimnotakpoppfpsheacy2526 personally i interpret this like when you need to achieve/possess/do something to make yourself feel beautiful but you’re not actually think you are.
@@noimnotakpoppfpsheacy2526 in my opinion its a powerful phrase because it's a word that represents nature as nature is, bloom, being juxtaposed with the word artifical. it invokes the feeling of a world trying to attain what we had from nature, through something artificial, and how counterintuitive that seems
SOPHIE was a huge inspiration to me, and this all just doesn't even feel real. Missing her already, and I'll cherish her music forever. It is absolutely unreal just how quickly and how suddenly a life can just slip away. Please, remember to cherish your loved ones, embrace them for who they are. You don't know how much your actions can impact others, and help them in their own journey.

I didn't really listen to SOPHIE before today, but somehow, after hearing a good third of her discography, I feel...shattered knowing that she's passed. I'm near tears because this was a woman of talent, of beauty, of creativity, and she's gone; just like that. From one practitioner of spirituality to another, I'll keep you in mind on the full moon, SOPHIE - rest in power, babes 🕯️♥️
it pretty much is, honestly this felt much scarier after watching the substance, like i have ptsd from the experience of these 2 combined, thats a sick horror experience
Broke all the rules, pushed further then most could even understand or appreciate, unbelievably good, absolute visionary. Too young, too soon. RIP SOPHIE
Beyond just the commentary on the way social media distorts reality, the song to me very much so carries the theme that the changes we make to our bodies as trans people do not make us any less authentic and instead bring us closer to who we truly are. This is most clearly shown by the lines "I'm real when I shop my face So you must be the one That I've seen in my dreams."
i might be stating the obvious but i love the way she mixes up the words face, shop, front and real is as if to say that we’re blurring the lines between what is a front and what is real, or what is “shopped” or what is an actual face. i think my high school english teachers would be proud :’)
Thanks for explaining this i kinda knew there was some kinda meaning to it i just couldn't put my finger on it. Artful meaning to an artful song,with an artful video i love it.
This is the first time I've been able to come listen to a Sophie song in years since she passed, I was so heartbroken. But this is making me happy and bringing back memories of when I first started listening to her 💕
This is the first time I’ve heard of Sophie and I have to admit that I’m not really into her music, but I can’t deny that the amount of talent and creativity she had was absolutely insane. Hands down the most original artist of our generation.
every time an artist dies people are like 'they were so talented'. I love sophie's music but it just pisses me off how everyone acts the same after an artist's passing.
So bleak, RIP SOPHIE. Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides was one of the most forward-thinking electronic albums we had. A huge voice in the transgender creative scene. Difficult pop. Only her debut too, so much more to give our world.
@@AliNaderzad Transgender figures in the music world have flourished in recent years, especially in regards to the electronic scene. Black Dresses, Kim Petras, Arca, The Woman Inside etc are all huge examples of this. It's a fantastic reflection of evolving tolerance in the arts, something which would have struggled to exist 10 years ago, and I celebrate that. Furthermore, Sophie led the pack. Why does it bother you?
@@AliNaderzad It's crazy that you assumed all that based on one tiny detail from my entire message. Sophie was very open about her transness. It is not something we should avoid talking about. If anything, we should talk about it louder so that more people can find comfort in themselves and pursue their potential without fear of prejudice.
The frequency and textures of these sounds just creep into your ears and touches your brain. Especially if your wearing headphones. I feel like my brain is the earth and my headphones are the terraforming machines that General Zod used.
She graduated from this world, she was too ahead of her time, the universe just knew she had to be somewhere better, somewhere higher. RIP Sophie ❤️ see you in the higher life
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t my type of music, but holy shit, this song is phenomenal! Maybe one of the most creatively produced songs ever! It’s absolutely heartbreaking to know that she never reached her full potential, may SOPHIE rest in peace ❤
I used to think this was SOPHIE’s critique of artificiality and the sheer silliness of plastic surgery, and perhaps that’s still a valid lens through which to see this song, but I recently changed my view. I get the feeling that Faceshopping is really about the importance of reclaiming one’s right to transform oneself, from physical modifications or to abstract re-orientations of the self. See, us people who don’t fit into society’s categories of what is normal have always been chastised for not following the mold; as if our very existence is a violation, something incorrect and deplorable. Maybe Faceshopping isn’t about “plastic surgery bad and shallow!” But maybe SOPHIE wanted to take out the moral burdens associated with changing our bodies, and instead show there’s an overlooked empowerment angle to being able to decide how you want your body to be, (my face is the front of shop), how you want it to be seen (my face is the real shop front), and have your body, including its adjustments (my shop is the face I front) to be accepted as valid (I’m real when I shop my face), despite how people around you view plastic surgery.
It’s not just empowerment, the whole vibe of the song is her portraying herself as a mad scientist, demonstrating how much power and utter control she has over the human form. If frankenstein is what a mortal scientist could make, then SOPHIE’s form is what a god can create.
I agree. I've always seen this as the line between personal interest, making the brand, and fitting into the world. Many trans folk are against plastic surgery because they feel it leaves both the cis and trans people who don't fit into the "acceptable" bone structure in the dust. If you can just reface yourself, what's there to natural beauty either? But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the only beholder that _should_ matter (even if it feels like it isn't) is you. "I'm real when I shop my face" is a personal expression to me. But that's my interpretation.
Great start! Next you’ll realize that she’s speaking on the commodification of beauty. You can manufacture and purchase beauty to then use to sell products (my face is the real shop front). Think Kylie Jenner. Especially knowing SOPHIE’s other work and interviews, you will see that she’s embracing the culture of consumerism. Her album arts are all done in the style of white-background amazon product photos. It’s not irony or satire... it’s honest and subversive.
your songs are gonna hit even harder in the pit once this whole pandemic ends. we will never forget your name. thank you for making me accept myself and become who I am today. rest in paradise queen ❤️
I feel so bad, because I just decided to start listening to her music. This is the first time I've thought of a pop song as heavy, like heavier than some metal. Sophie was such a good artist!
She truly elevated music to unimaginable heights. She inspired me personally to pursue music production with her cinematic production and I’m devastated to hear of her passing. She will live on forever in our hearts and in the melodies she composed💖
the oddist Oddish: You're the only one who understands electronic music. Electronic music is all about and has always been about the lyrics. Without lyrics there would not be electronic music.
Mike Buchanan Yeah exctly. Every music is about lyrics in fact. That's why they made classical music without lyrics back in the day because people used to be stupider and unmusical.
*FOR ANYONE WITH PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY THIS VIDEO ISNT A GOOD IDEA TO WATCH* pls get this comment to the top because the video doesn’t have the warning.
I miss her so much 😢 There will never be another artist like her. When I first heard her music I could not believe it! I have never heard anything like it and probably never will again. She was one of a kind and can never be replicated. You are an angel Sophie!!
Genius. Pure genius. A multi-medium work of art throwing shade at the hyper-consumerist pop industry yet manifested in a hyper pop song. Rest in Power SOPHIE
@@Minastokerrr Plenty of people will make recognizably influenced music as it is kind of a genre with it’s bold cut from one style to a completely different and back again.
Every time I listen to this banger I smell the scent of glue. This isn't some kind of statement or anything or a cry for help, I just find it strange. I'll keep you guys posted if I have a stroke or something.

Do you feel what I feel?
Do you see what I see?
Oh, reduce me to nothingness
Yes, yes
My face is the front of shop
My face is the real shop front
My shop is the face I front
I'm real when I shop my face
And you know what I want
My face is the front of shop
So give me what I want
My face is the real shop front
I said everything I want
My shop is the face I front
So give me what I want
I'm real when I shop my face
And you know what I want
My face is the front of shop
So give me what I want
My face is the real shop front
I said everything I want
My shop is the face I front
So give me what I want
I'm real when I shop my face

Forever in our hearts Sophie 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Some of us really wish to discovered her sooner. RIP true queen.
I don't have epilepsy but i'm praying for people who do.
Tijana Miladinovic I am feeling like I am developing one while I am watching this
Thanks
I’m so relieved my seizures aren’t triggered by flashing lights so I can still watch this masterpiece
Yea, I have it and unfortunately can't watch this. I can tolerably quite a lot but not this much.
mhmm it's an mv made in poor taste, no TW either
most people don't know if they have epilepsy until they experience it
Just learned she passed three minutes ago. So I'm listening to her music to pay tribute. R.i.p artist
How did she die
@L No, I'm pretty sure she fell off a balcony at a hotel she was staying at accidentally.
@L it was her apartment building's roof
@L Mountain? I thought it was a balcony... Dumbass.
@L I'm surprised you responded after 7 months.
I didn't really listen to SOPHIE before today, but somehow, after hearing a good third of her discography, I feel...shattered knowing that she's passed. I'm near tears because this was a woman of talent, of beauty, of creativity, and she's gone; just like that.
From one practitioner of spirituality to another, I'll keep you in mind on the full moon, SOPHIE - rest in power, babes 🕯️♥️
It's ok to cry 🥲
I am het Tert
this is what the substance wanted to be
it pretty much is, honestly this felt much scarier after watching the substance, like i have ptsd from the experience of these 2 combined, thats a sick horror experience
Broke all the rules, pushed further then most could even understand or appreciate, unbelievably good, absolute visionary. Too young, too soon. RIP SOPHIE
Beyond just the commentary on the way social media distorts reality, the song to me very much so carries the theme that the changes we make to our bodies as trans people do not make us any less authentic and instead bring us closer to who we truly are.
This is most clearly shown by the lines
"I'm real when I shop my face
So you must be the one
That I've seen in my dreams."
i might be stating the obvious but i love the way she mixes up the words face, shop, front and real is as if to say that we’re blurring the lines between what is a front and what is real, or what is “shopped” or what is an actual face. i think my high school english teachers would be proud :’)
Thanks for explaining this i kinda knew there was some kinda meaning to it i just couldn't put my finger on it. Artful meaning to an artful song,with an artful video i love it.
This is the first time I've been able to come listen to a Sophie song in years since she passed, I was so heartbroken. But this is making me happy and bringing back memories of when I first started listening to her 💕
what an absolute goddess
RIP queen 👑
Such a loss to the future of music. Hopefully arca, galen tipton, charli xcx and pc music can continue some of the legacy

Rest in pace. 🙏
I dont know how to process this. Its genuinely tragic.
Who cares.
This is the first time I’ve heard of Sophie and I have to admit that I’m not really into her music, but I can’t deny that the amount of talent and creativity she had was absolutely insane. Hands down the most original artist of our generation.
same
As a music producer i have to tell you i cant begin to imagine how most of these sounds were made. Im sure im not the only one that thinks this.
yeah i agree with you
you're only saying this because she's dead
every time an artist dies people are like 'they were so talented'. I love sophie's music but it just pisses me off how everyone acts the same after an artist's passing.

Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides was one of the most forward-thinking electronic albums we had. A huge voice in the transgender creative scene. Difficult pop. Only her debut too, so much more to give our world.
@@AliNaderzad Transgender figures in the music world have flourished in recent years, especially in regards to the electronic scene. Black Dresses, Kim Petras, Arca, The Woman Inside etc are all huge examples of this. It's a fantastic reflection of evolving tolerance in the arts, something which would have struggled to exist 10 years ago, and I celebrate that. Furthermore, Sophie led the pack. Why does it bother you?
@@AliNaderzad It's crazy that you assumed all that based on one tiny detail from my entire message. Sophie was very open about her transness. It is not something we should avoid talking about. If anything, we should talk about it louder so that more people can find comfort in themselves and pursue their potential without fear of prejudice.
the amount of work it must have taken to make some of these sounds, jesus christ. sophies production is unparalleled
Lowkey wish this was an Apple FaceID ad song

THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED
Welcome💖
@@pcn3461 THANK U 😳💖💖
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t my type of music, but holy shit, this song is phenomenal! Maybe one of the most creatively produced songs ever! It’s absolutely heartbreaking to know that she never reached her full potential, may SOPHIE rest in peace ❤
I used to think this was SOPHIE’s critique of artificiality and the sheer silliness of plastic surgery, and perhaps that’s still a valid lens through which to see this song, but I recently changed my view.
I get the feeling that Faceshopping is really about the importance of reclaiming one’s right to transform oneself, from physical modifications or to abstract re-orientations of the self. See, us people who don’t fit into society’s categories of what is normal have always been chastised for not following the mold; as if our very existence is a violation, something incorrect and deplorable. Maybe Faceshopping isn’t about “plastic surgery bad and shallow!” But maybe SOPHIE wanted to take out the moral burdens associated with changing our bodies, and instead show there’s an overlooked empowerment angle to being able to decide how you want your body to be, (my face is the front of shop), how you want it to be seen (my face is the real shop front), and have your body, including its adjustments (my shop is the face I front) to be accepted as valid (I’m real when I shop my face), despite how people around you view plastic surgery.
It’s not just empowerment, the whole vibe of the song is her portraying herself as a mad scientist, demonstrating how much power and utter control she has over the human form. If frankenstein is what a mortal scientist could make, then SOPHIE’s form is what a god can create.
@@nigelthornberry5375 Love that
I agree. I've always seen this as the line between personal interest, making the brand, and fitting into the world. Many trans folk are against plastic surgery because they feel it leaves both the cis and trans people who don't fit into the "acceptable" bone structure in the dust. If you can just reface yourself, what's there to natural beauty either? But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the only beholder that _should_ matter (even if it feels like it isn't) is you. "I'm real when I shop my face" is a personal expression to me. But that's my interpretation.
@@GuiSmith this thread reminds me of an interview she did for billboard where she was quoted as saying "transness is about taking control"
Great start! Next you’ll realize that she’s speaking on the commodification of beauty. You can manufacture and purchase beauty to then use to sell products (my face is the real shop front). Think Kylie Jenner.
Especially knowing SOPHIE’s other work and interviews, you will see that she’s embracing the culture of consumerism. Her album arts are all done in the style of white-background amazon product photos. It’s not irony or satire... it’s honest and subversive.
your songs are gonna hit even harder in the pit once this whole pandemic ends. we will never forget your name. thank you for making me accept myself and become who I am today. rest in paradise queen ❤️
I feel so bad, because I just decided to start listening to her music. This is the first time I've thought of a pop song as heavy, like heavier than some metal. Sophie was such a good artist!
SAME. This feels so dubteppy
New Charli XCX fans who said to love hyperpop can't even last 1 minute in Sophie's most popular song
They would evaporate hearing how I’m feeling now
I’m a charli xcx fan and I’m loving this
You can love both
Funnily enough Charli XCX said this was her favourite Sophie track.
besides being a banger, this is one of the best tracks i've ever heard about grappling with your self identity--- truly profound work, Sophie
I can't believe I just found out about her after she died, this is amazing. What a hell of a legacy.
same!!! :(
memes aside, this is a genuinely good song. it's so disheartening to hear that she passed. may she RIP.
hit the SLAY button
She truly elevated music to unimaginable heights. She inspired me personally to pursue music production with her cinematic production and I’m devastated to hear of her passing. She will live on forever in our hearts and in the melodies she composed💖
The track was fantastic, but with the visuals it's even elevated. Phenomenal
exactly
Vasari O bullshit this is crap there's no effort at all and there's only 1 line which keeps repeating this thing is crap
you should look up the lyrics and actually do some research, there's more than 1 line.
the oddist Oddish:
You're the only one who understands electronic music. Electronic music is all about and has always been about the lyrics. Without lyrics there would not be electronic music.
Mike Buchanan Yeah exctly. Every music is about lyrics in fact. That's why they made classical music without lyrics back in the day because people used to be stupider and unmusical.
Can you believe SOPHIE invented faces
When I watched The Substance I automatically thought of Faceshopping.
Literally the most intense song I’ve ever listened to.
Try Whole New World by her
Zian Saakaar listen to xlab tho they’re mad
