IN CONVERSATION WITH SOFIE ROYER

With her new album before/after, Sofie Royer looks at the conflict of you versus you: the person you were, the person you are becoming, and everything that somehow keeps following you in between. In conversation with Elisabeth Kiko, she talks about being your own biggest critic, following intuition and finding joy in creating rather than constantly trying to become someone new. What stays is a curiosity that seems to run through everything Sofie does, always looking a little further and beyond the obvious.
