Liz (James Orlando<\/a>), SOPHIE (Renata Raksha<\/a>)<\/cite><\/p>\n In 2018, SOPHIE<\/a> and Liz<\/a> reunited to make a follow-up to their 2015 collaboration \u201cWhen I Rule the World<\/a>\u201d at SOPHIE\u2019s Nichols Canyon home studio. That song, \u201cSunscreen<\/a>,\u201d did not immediately see the light of day, though it leaked on streaming platforms and occasionally popped up in DJ sets. Now, Liz is back, and she is releasing the finished song to mark her return. Below, watch the song\u2019s video, shot on the Greek island of Mykonos. James Orlando<\/a> directed it, and co-designer Renata Raksha<\/a> drew from an idea conceptualized with SOPHIE.<\/p>\n SOPHIE\u2019s brother, Benny Long, and vocal engineer Suzy Shinn worked with Liz to complete the track. The song is also getting a vinyl release. \u201cSunscreen\u201d is the latest in a string of posthumous SOPHIE releases, the latest being the self-titled album<\/a> released last year.<\/p>\n Liz wrote on social media, \u201cAfter all the years of rips, leaks, lore, and speculation, SUNSCREEN is finally here. SOPHIE always wanted me to put this song out, and I\u2019m so grateful to Benny and Emily Long for being the loving and classy individuals they are, and for trusting me with the vision for this release.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cAnd to SOPHIE\u2026 your brilliance, your spirit, your friendship\u2014I carry all of it with me. Thank you for believing in me. You continue to shape me and so many others; your impact is eternal. SOPHIE FOREVER.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally Appeared on Pitchfork<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
