Sophie Cates’ new single details a high-profile breakup on her album’s final album single “i don’t see you (how i used to),” a collaboration with Junior Varsity-member Zach Michel, and off the singer/songwriter’s forthcoming album, SUPERNOVA, due out early 2024.

The Boston-bred/Los Angeles artist Sophie Cates has made a career translating her inner-monologues into vivid sonic tales. The artist’s acute storytelling abilities and indelible melodic sensibilities have led to a long list of opening slots for Jeremy Zucker and Omar Apollo, writing credits for Daya and Flume, collaborations with hyperpop legends Dylan Brady and umru.

“‘I don’t see you (how I used to)’ is that exact moment I felt the first relief from mourning my relationship. It was waking up and remembering the not so perfect moments instead of being hit with all my best memories. And it was acknowledging the fact that I had been manipulated to only see this person for their best self, when most of the time I was getting their worst.

For me this song represents the long road to realizing you might not have had the love you thought you did, and trying to untangle yourself after years of manipulation and unhealthy power dynamics. This song is about feeling clarity and feeling your power slowly returning to your body.”
