When Sophie Monk appeared on The Masked Singer last season, I guessed it wouldn’t be too long before she returned to the music scene. Now she’s back with a brand new single “Nice to Meet You,” which is the perfect reintroduction to her vocal talents.
This is a far cry from the sugary pop music Sophie made with Bardot. Instead it’s a dark jazzy number with insightful lyrics. Sophie penned the track while on The Masked Singer with Thomas Tan and CDB brothers Gary and Brad Pinto. Prince’s original horn player Phillip Lassiter gives it a cool retro feel.
“It’s taken me years to be ready to release a song and this happened so organically for me, I felt like the time was right,” Sophie explained. “People know me originally as a singer in Australia so it’s nice to be going back to my number one love.”
Releasing the song independently through Ditto Music is another unexpected choice, but one that Sophie says feels right.
“For the first time in my musical career, I feel like I am in complete control and I’m just excited by the opportunity to be able to do this. I hope everyone enjoys the track it as much as I did recording it.”
This track is a real surprise, in the best possible way. It’s great to have you back making music Sophie!
