Magnets by Sophie Li

Feature

6 Mar

Hailing from Liverpool, this unstoppable indie-rock solo artist Sophie Li is redefining what it means to be raw, real, and unapologetically bold. Drawing inspiration from Catfish and the Bottlemen and beabadoobee, she first made waves in December 2022 with her explosive debut single, “For Crying Out Loud”—a track that fused stripped-back vulnerability with fiery intensity, telling the story of escaping a toxic relationship.

Drenched in emotion, packed with arena-sized guitars and pounding drums, “For Crying Out Loud” wasn’t just a song—it was a statement.

After selling out venues across Liverpool, Sophie took a step back to refine her sound, to dig deeper, write harder, and create something even more electrifying. Now, in 2025, she returns as a redefined independent solo artist with a brand-new catalogue of songs that feel like nostalgia wrapped in fresh energy—tracks that hit you right in the chest with their raw, evocative storytelling.

Her new single, “Magnets”, is an instant indie anthem, capturing the rush of temptation, the pull of an intoxicating love affair, and the chaos of wanting something (or someone) you probably shouldn’t.

This isn’t just indie rock—it’s indie rock with heart, with guts, with stories that demand to be heard. Whether it’s the gritty emotion, the soaring guitars, or the lyrics that cut deep, this Liverpool powerhouse is creating music that hits like a punch and lingers like a scar.

2025 is the year of Sophie Li. Watch this space.

“Magnets” is available now on all major streaming platforms
