Sophie Coran, Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter and composer, has never let heartbreak keep her from speaking her truth. It’s the fuel to the fire behind her self-described noir & b sound, and the backing track to her 2021 album, S P A C E. A brutally honest lyricist and classically trained pianist, Coran’s sound gravitates toward the symphonic, with no shortage of textural, disciplined phrases. To listen to a Sophie Coran track is to listen to a pop-infused symphony.
Having spent her formative years studying at the Manhattan School of Music followed by time spent traveling through Europe, Coran’s back catalog is a nostalgic, romantic look at the importance of human connection and the beauty of the places that mean the most to her.
Whether you’re in love, out of love, or waiting to fall, Coran makes you feel like you’re already there.
Praised by NPR Music, Ones to Watch, EARMILK, and more, Coran was also named NPR’s Slingshot Artist to watch in 2019, and is a Shure Songwriting award winner. Recently, Coran spent time touring Philadelphia, Portsmouth, Washington DC, New York City, and Amherst, sharing stages with artists Jade Bird — who handpicked Coran as a tour opener — Marian Hill, Lisa Loeb, Giordana Angi and Sting, and Stop Light Observations, and Bernhoft.
