Sofie showcases Afro fusion artistry in “Coke Studio Sessions LA” Live EP

Sofie returns with an engaging new live project, “Coke Studio Sessions LA,” an EP that encapsulates the unfiltered core of her music in its purest form. The live‑recorded EP showcases beloved originals and an unexpected cover, all performed with vibrant energy and moving artistry.

The EP highlights Afro‑fusion’s spirit through four dynamic tracks: ‘SUV (Live)’, ‘Loading (Live)’, ‘Party Pooper (Live)’, and the live cover of ‘Bruises off the Peach.’ Supported by a compact live ensemble—drums, bass, electric guitar, and keyboard—each rendition injects new vitality into the songs, fusing groove‑centric instrumentation with sincere storytelling.

The EP traverses energetic beats and quieter, reflective passages, giving listeners a front‑row view of Sofie’s musical voyage. From the high‑tempo bursts in ‘SUV (Live)’ to the contemplative mood of ‘Bruises off the Peach,’ the collection records the immediacy and feeling of a live show while remaining faithful to Sofie’s unique voice. It delivers a pared‑down yet robust experience that melds raw emotion with polished musicianship.

The set is enhanced by a lively live group, comprising Shane Njoloma on keyboards, Mahima Joshi on guitar, Shareef Addo on bass, and Brandon Stennett on drums. Sofie’s commanding vocals and narrative flair come to the fore in this minimalist arrangement, once more demonstrating her skill at merging groove‑oriented instrumentation with emotional depth. The EP showcases the artist’s growth while staying rooted in her identity and expertise. Engineered by Joseph Sestito, mixed by Ramiro Fernandez‑Seoane, and mastered by Zach Pereyra, it balances unrefined performance with refined sound, underscoring the power of live musicianship and storytelling.

The release comes after a steady flow of material from Sofie, whose catalog features a mixtape, three EPs, and multiple singles. Her latest drop, ‘SUV (Live)’, arrived in April 2025 and paved the way for this compelling set of performances.

With “Coke Studio Sessions LA”, Sofie goes beyond performing; she draws listeners into her universe, one track, one beat, one lyric at a time. The EP offers more than a listening session—it serves as a reminder of the essence and expectation of live music. Hear “Coke Studio Sessions LA” here
