Hmm... Sophia Galaté

Keep your eyes on Sophia Galaté. The L.A. singer-songwriter just dropped her debut album, 'For My Own Entertainment', through Handwritten Records—fresh off opening for James Vickery's US tour. While she describes her vibe as soulful retro-pop pulling from Etta James and Amy Winehouse, Spotify's tastemakers are definitely paying attention. Her track "Just For A Moment" just secured a heavy #15 spot on the YAMS editorial playlist. She's out here making moves on her own terms, and this sudden playlist leverage tells me the momentum is starting to build.
