In a world teeming with emerging artists, SOZI stands out not just for her voice but for the energy, soul, and electric storytelling she brings to pop music. LA-born artist has gained serious traction this year, with her single “Never Fade” debuting on Netflix’s Love Is Blind Season 5. Combining Florence and the Machine’s anthemic resonance with Taylor Swift’s lyrical storytelling, SOZI’s sound has both a familiarity and a freshness that make it easy to see why she’s quickly capturing peoples’ hearts.

With her powerful storytelling, and compelling stage presence, she’s proving to be one of pop music’s most promising talents, ready to conquer not just playlists, but stadiums. “Darkside” might be her latest hit, but if her journey so far is any indication, SOZI herself is here to stay.
