Eastside Radio’s Album Of The Week is Sophie by the Arlo Parks through Beatnik Creative Records.

‘Sophie’ is a song about “crumbling under expectations and feeling helpless, but with a persistent, quiet sense of hope underpinning it,” she told us in a statement. ‘Sophie’ is melodic and has a laid back feel, with reflective and observational lyrics.

Arlo Parks has returned with her newest slice of stunning bedroom pop in the from of latest track ‘Second Guessing’. Documenting that feeling of struggling to get your shit together within her delicate vocals, the track is – in her own words – “an exploration of the existential misery that comes from a desire to be successful in a way that pleases everyone. However it’s also a song about strength and the possibility of self fulfilment”.
