One of the most special emails today bore notice of a singer songwriter who wasn’t familiar to me. Her name is Sophie Payten, and she performs as Gordi. Her recent works have been collaborations with other artists, but she will release her six-track Inhuman EP on August 19 via Jagjaguwar. Today’s missive contained a link to her first single from the EP — the stunning “Way I Go”. The song is a reflection on the transformative effects of being in love, told simply with Payten’s guitar and her reverbed vocals. We highly recommend that you watch the video below.
By way of background, Sophie Payten is from Sydney, although she travels and may now be residing in Los Angeles. She also is a physician.
