Sophie Shredz returns to the forefront of musical innovation with her latest offering, the electrifying single and video, “OMG.” Demonstrating an unparalleled knack for genre-blending, Sophie Shredz seamlessly integrates elements of hyper-pop with a nod to classic rock influences, forging a sonic path uniquely her own.
In “OMG,” Sophie Shredz channels her rock and roll roots with fervent vigor. Propelled by soaring prog-rock guitar riffs and pulsating drums, the track pulsates with raw, unadulterated punk-rock energy. Yet, beneath its exuberant surface lies a deeper narrative; as Sophie elucidates, “OMG” delves into the unsettling territory of obsession, exploring the notion of living rent-free in another’s mind amidst their fervent hatred.
The accompanying music video, creatively directed by Lucy Flores and produced/styled by MK Kopp, serves as a visual embodiment of the Sophie Shredz aesthetic. Eerie and surrealist, with a hint of kitsch, the video unfolds a narrative of creation, control, and worship, offering a darker twist on the artist’s trademark style. “OMG” represents not only a musical evolution but a thematic exploration that paves the way for Sophie Shredz’s forthcoming album.
Sophie Shredz is the brainchild of New Jersey-born, Nashville-based vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist Sophie Ruggiero. Raised on a musical diet of classic rock legends such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Heart, Sophie embarked on her musical journey at a tender age, mastering the guitar by the age of seven.
With the Sophie Shredz project, Sophie Ruggiero redefines the archetype of the modern-day rock star. Bold, evocative, and openly queer, she serves as a beacon of empowerment for individuals worldwide. Through her music, Sophie shares her personal and artistic growth, championing authenticity and resilience. Her ultimate aspiration? To inspire others to embrace their true selves and embark on their own journey of self-discovery.
