Sophie Koh Unveils Gorgeous “Yellow Rose” Music Video

Sophie Koh has released a stunning new video for her sublime new single “Yellow Rose.” This song has such an ethereal quality to it. You might imagine hearing it in some woodland setting while watching fairies dance and play, or perhaps while you’re overlooking some Scottish moors. Either way, it’s beautiful.

And the video, featuring art from Xin Li hand-painted onto a light box and animated using stop motion techniques, is the perfect accompaniment. What a pretty pair they are.

“Yellow Rose” is the second single lifted from Sophie’s fourth studio album, Book of Song.

Sophie Koh Tours Album Number 3

Sophie Koh wowed me with her most recent single “I Understand,” so I’m thrilled to see its album and accompanying tour aren’t too far away.

Oh My Garden, Sophie’s third record, will hit stores on July 6. It saw Sophie stepping away from her guitar and exploring new musical terrain through recording sessions with Brad Wood and Ben Lee in Los Angeles. The singles “Lo-Fi” and “I Understand” have been so strong that I expect big things from this release.

Sophie will celebrate Oh My Garden’s birth by playing some of her favourite venues over the next few months.

13 July 2012 – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne
21 July 2012 – WheatSheaf Hotel, Adelaide
2 August 2012 – FBi Social, Sydney
12 August 2012 – Powerhouse, Brisbane
8 September 2012 – Alice Springs Festival, Alice Springs

Sophie Koh Releases Stunning “I Understand” Single

Sophie Koh has captivated me with “I Understand,” the second single lifted from her forthcoming album Oh My Garden.

So many songs have been written about break-ups, but few are quite as searing as this one. There are no hysterics or desperate pleas, simply a resignation and sadness for love lost. Ben Lee and Brad Wood helped Sophie pen the track that she calls “one of the most personal songs” she’s ever written.

I remember catching Sophie Koh supporting Howie Day a few years ago. Her name stuck with me, and I’m thrilled to see the way she’s maturing as an artist. This song is stellar. She’ll launch it for her hometown fans in Melbourne at The Toff in Town on May 31.
