“We check out female fronted rock trio Bxrrell “
“White Noise,” serves as a defiant anthem against the tough boys’ who hide behind screens”
Delving into the resilience of artists amidst online adversity, our Artist In Focus this week, Sophie Burrell, has captivated us with her journey. At the core of her narrative lies the unfortunate reality of facing unwarranted backlash on social media, a phenomenon all too common yet entirely unnecessary.
When Sophie, a talented singer-songwriter and guitarist, stumbled upon an unauthorized Facebook advert featuring herself, she found herself confronted with a deluge of disparaging comments from male detractors. At just 20 years old, navigating the intricacies of social media as a successful female influencer was a daunting task. However, Sophie’s experiences, though initially jarring, have now become a central lyrical theme in her music.
Fast forward four years, and the prevalence of misogynistic comments continues to plague many female artists online. Yet, Sophie confronts this toxicity with a remarkable cool-headedness. Her latest track, “White Noise,” serves as a defiant anthem against the ‘tough boys’ who hide behind screens to spew hate and misogyny. For Sophie, these voices have become nothing more than background noise, insignificant distractions in her pursuit of artistic expression.
As “White Noise” coincides with Women’s History Month, its release serves as a timely reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by women in the music industry.
In addition to her musical prowess, Sophie’s band, BXRRELL, is thrilled to announce their debut UK tour. With six dates scheduled across the country throughout May and June, audiences can expect an electrifying night filled with blistering guitar licks and infectious energy. Joining them on this exhilarating journey is the dynamic punk-rock artist, Tilly Kingston.
Join us in celebrating the resilience and talent of Sophie Burrell and BXRRELL as they defy expectations and inspire audiences worldwide.
