Sophia Garvey doesn’t knock. She scratches. She screams. She shoves her way through the cat flap. Her new single “Let The Cat In” (via Score Global) arrives with three chaotic minutes of lust, desperation, and feral confidence. This is pop-rock with claws out, sultry, aggressive, and deliberately unhinged. Sophia is the cat refusing to be house-trained.
Built on snarling guitars, physical drums, and hooks that feel slightly dangerous, Let The Cat In toys with desire as something animal, shameless, and loud. Think 90s Madonna at her most confrontational, smeared eyeliner, sweat on the dancefloor, teeth bared. Sophia calls it “nefarious.” Not naughty. Nefarious.
Sophia Garvey began writing and releasing music at just 16 years old, first collaborating with Richard Huxley
before moving to Leeds to study Fine Art at Leeds Arts University. While there, she released Post Break Up
Sex, later featured in Season 4 of Netflix’s You. She then went on to record an EP with Matt Parker (Late
Nights, Life Of The Party, Girl On TV, Ohhh Honey), shooting and editing all visuals herself with friends, a DIY
ethos that still defines her work.
Her influences span Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey, Gorillaz, Britney Spears, Madonna, and a heavy dose of 90s chaos. She lives for nightlife, fashion, and art, and describes herself as unapologetic, tongue-in-cheek, and pure filth.
Let The Cat In is the opening scratch of Sophia Garvey’s upcoming album Pure Filth, a record that doesn’t clean itself up, doesn’t behave, and doesn’t care if you’re uncomfortable. It’s lipstick on teeth, mascara down cheeks, confidence with a nasty edge, and emotion that refuses to sit nicely. With “Let The Cat In”, Sophia Garvey doesn’t ask permission. She kicks down the door.
