Sophie Coran, Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter and composer, has never let heartbreak keep her from speaking her truth. It’s the fuel to the fire behind her self-described noir & b sound, and the backing track to her 2021 album, S P A C E. A brutally honest lyricist and classically trained pianist, Coran’s sound gravitates toward the symphonic, with no shortage of textural, disciplined phrases. To listen to a Sophie Coran track is to listen to a pop-infused symphony. 

Having spent her formative years studying at the Manhattan School of Music followed by time spent traveling through Europe, Coran’s back catalog is a nostalgic, romantic look at the importance of human connection and the beauty of the places that mean the most to her.

Whether you’re in love, out of love, or waiting to fall, Coran makes you feel like you’re already there. 

Praised by NPR Music, Ones to Watch, EARMILK, and more, Coran was named an NPR Slingshot Artist to Watch, and is a Shure Songwriting award winner. Her latest releases from i don’t go to new york anymore have earned placements on editorial playlists such as Apple Music’s New in Alternative, Vevo’s Incoming Indie and New Music Friday, and Amazon Music’s The High End. Recently, Coran spent time touring in Philadelphia, Portsmouth, Washington DC, New York City, and Amherst, sharing stages with artists Jade Bird — who handpicked Coran as a tour opener — Margaret Glaspy, Pom Pom Squad, Marian Hill, Lisa Loeb, Giordana Angi and Sting, Stop Light Observations, Bernhoft and Malinda.

What others say about Sophie Coran: 

“Coran's songs are complex studies of human connection...and they’re surprisingly contemporary, too” — NPR Music

“Coran explores the landscape of modern nostalgia that has been difficult to capture in present

music” — The Alternative

“‘Permission’ feels like a tune from a bygone era, sepia-toned and laden with sparse, yet impactful instrumentation – silken strings, haunting piano, and yearning vocals. Coran's delivery is delicate yet powerful, the subject matter deeply personal.” — EARMILK

“Singer-songwriter Sophie Coran fancies her aesthetic ‘Noir & B,’ which is a clever way of packaging an artist who boasts both a faux-fur coat vintage Hollywood look, and a smoky-voiced after-hours lounge sound.” — WXPN
