Sophie Jamieson announces second album, I still want to share
London-based songwriter Sophie Jamieson has announced the release of her forthcoming second album, I still want to share.
I still want to share presents a deeply personal reflection on the cyclical nature of loving and losing, the anxiety we cannot keep out of our relationships, and the perpetual longing for belonging that drives us to keep trying, and failing, to find home in other people. The album’s first single, “I don’t know what to save”, embodies this theme in its yearning for escape.
Speaking bout the track, she said: “This song was some kind of running break for freedom. I was carrying the weight of my attachment to a person and all the pain entangled with them, but here came an out-reaching, a burst of energy and glimmer of hope. It was an enormous push towards letting go. The unbearable pain of detaching felt like entering some kind of eerie, unknown space that turned out, upon arriving, to be not only totally survivable but like pure, fresh air.”
“I think what holds this record together is the idea of attachment rather than love,” Jamieson explains. “The clinical, less romantic nature, the ugly nature, but also the very human nature of that.”
Sophie Jamieson has also announced a string of live dates for next February, in Belfast, and Manchester, Brighton, concluding with a London show at The Lexington on 12 February 2025.
