[AlexLockhart]

Out now.

SOPHIE's and Blood Orange's ex-collaborator Samantha Urbani (you might heard her in Dev Hynes 'Cupid Deluxe' 2013 album) has finally released her debut LP long after her first EP 'Policies of Power' (2017).

'Showing Up' is an ode to late 80s and early 90s pop music — but in a very unique, sophisticated way. If you give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I absolutely love what she did with Dev.

What did she work on with SOPHIE though?

Give us more "1 2 3 4" and "Hint & Implications" queen!

It has to be 'Nothingly' (with Danny also!) she's on backing vocals only, but the fact they worked together is already a blessing to me

Then you'll definitely love the album, all the singles are very close to these songs! 'Time Keeps Slipping' and 'Showing Up' are BOPS

It's a shame she's such a noname so there won't be a metacritic page, neither P4K review  I guess

The record gets better with each listening

Weren't there rumours that Lorde is working with Dev for L4? The absolute collapse L4 would be if that's true and she serves a sound similar to Urbani's album.
