Sophia Warren returns with Adesso, the second installment in her trilogy of EPs, now available via Tigris 33/UMG. Paired with the release is the raw and resonant track “Purple,” complete with a cinematic visualizer, both of which mark Warren’s continued evolution as an artist unafraid of vulnerability.
Produced by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Slowdive), Adesso — meaning “now” in Italian — represents a declaration of presence. It captures Warren’s growth as she seeks healing and identity beyond the shadows of past relationships. “The EP asks, who am I without them? What do I truly want?” says Warren. “These songs are about me peeling back the layers of uncertainty and learning to trust my own voice. It’s scary, it’s raw, but it’s real.”
Among its standout tracks, “Purple” reflects a mental shift — from battling anxiety to coexisting with it. “It’s the sound of me facing my anxiety,” Warren shares, “of standing still in the chaos of my own mind and choosing to embrace every part of myself even when it wasn’t easy, even when I wanted to run from it.”
Visually and sonically atmospheric, Adesso is a rich continuation of Warren’s conceptual storytelling. Following her debut EP, this release builds toward a larger narrative arc set to unfold across three parts, tracing her personal and emotional journey toward self-discovery.
