Sofi Vonn creates cinematic intimacy with her captivating single “Selfish”
Sofi Vonn builds on the atmospheric exploration of her second EP, “Lucky with a Side of Depression,” by immersing you in a deep blend of nighttime feelings and electro-pop. “Selfish” was made in London with up-and-coming producer Malthus, and it captures the EP’s dreamy central theme.
Vonn’s take on pop is always deep and makes you think about yourself, and “Selfish” sums up the struggle between wanting to protect your heart and wanting to be recognized. The song takes you to a softly lit world of thought without making it louder. “Selfish” derives its power from restraint rather than loud rhythms or theatrical hooks.
Sofi Vonn shows that electronic pop can be deep, soulful, and emotional while still being classy. The single fits perfectly into the EP’s emotional framework, where longing meets awareness, desire meets consequence, and beauty meets pain. It’s late-night realism wrapped in dream-pop, and Vonn seems like the perfect person to represent this mix.
“Selfish” is a voice trying to be real, both with other people and, maybe more difficult, with itself. Vonn turns complicated things into simple ones, and in “Selfish,” Sofi Vonn shows that the modern pop scene still has room for subtlety, emotional depth, and authenticity that isn’t too flashy but still makes a big difference.
