Sofia and the Antoinettes
There is a certain nostalgic charm to the music of Sofia And The Antoinettes, a melancholic aesthetic tinged with sepia. This is no coincidence: the London-based singer-songwriter began by translating old love letters into song lyrics, processing their content in a way that is partly autobiographical, partly abstract. This has resulted in heartbreak anthems as fragile as they are moving, such as “Buried (In This Room)” or “Matthew” (2024), with which Sofia secured a residency two years ago at the East London bar Doña. Here, her songs have the opportunity to grow and mature before a live audience. Existential questions about loss and transience, forgetting and remembering define the thematic framework of the songs. Through passionate attention to detail, these elements coalesce into an almost cinematic form of modern alt-pop, which captivates with creative instrumentation and a keen sense for dramatic tension. Last year, their debut EP “Women Who Love Too Much” (2025) received positive reviews and racked up hundreds of thousands of streams on relevant platforms. With new songs such as their latest single “Vespa” (2026), Sofia And The Antoinettes are coming to Hamburg for the first time this year.
