sophie-lou Shares Heartfelt New Single “How to not expect too much”

Copenhagen-based artist sophie-lou has released her stunning new single “How to not expect too much”, an exploration of grief, love, and the quiet fear of not being enough. Written in the aftermath of her mother’s death, the track sits at the intersection of loss and the fragile hope of opening up again.

“I had lost my mother — the most important person in my life — and I had done everything to escape that grief,” sophie-lou shares. “When I finally found a home, I fell in love for the first time while still completely broken. The song was born from that collision.”

Blending angelic choral textures with distorted guitars and widescreen pop arrangements, sophie-lou creates a sound that’s as expansive as it is intimate. With a background steeped in jazz and 14 years of performance with the Danish National Girls’ Choir, her voice carries both precision and a lot of emotion.

“How to not expect too much” follows her buzzworthy debut “I will love you till I die,” which won airplay on Denmark’s P6 BEAT and drew international praise. Both singles will appear on her upcoming EP It’s easy to be soft, a project she produced herself, described as a love letter to vulnerability.

“The EP is about choosing softness in a world that tells you to harden,” she explains. “I’ve learned to take my vulnerability seriously — and that has opened up a much more compassionate space, both for myself and for others.”
