Derbyshire, but London-based, songwriter Sophie Kilburn shares her new EP “Not Bitter, Just Bored”. A collection of tracks that detail overcoming heartache both romantically and through bereavement, the EP shares alt-pop/rock sounds in their abundance. Drawing on influences from the 70s, 80s and modern alt-rcok, the EP shares pop melodies and touches on themes including gender conditioning and internalising pressures which become harmful behaviours. Latest single “Love Condition” is a banger too.
“‘Not Bitter, Just Bored’ is all about trying to rebuild your life after heartache and finding the strength to say no to toxic behaviour from others and from yourself. With any heartache you reach a point where you are just so bored of feeling worthless and mistreated. Every song I write I try to be as honest as possible so if I am going on about heartache recovery, part of that is sharing my heartache to encourage others to voice theirs. People are so quick to tell you how to act, how to feel and what you should do even if you aren’t asking for their advice. I just got desperate to break away from those voices. You should be the only one who decides the person you want to be. When tragedy happens, you question who you are.”
