The debut single Goddess introduces the core of Sofia Memphis right away. It doesn't stay in the background, it gets under your skin. There's a kind of intensity and motion in the track that can raise goosebumps and pull you in before you even have time to think. The lyrics play with car imagery, while at the centre is a woman, a magnetic figure and a kind of motion that turns heads.

"Goddess is that day when you wake up feeling so incredible that buildings catch fire and people just collapse in front of you as you walk by. It's a power song for those days when everything is right from the morning onwards, when the goddess is free, wild, irresistible and unbeatable," says vocalist Foxy Trickster.

Behind the members' stage names are familiar figures from Finland's underground rock scene, the same people who have moved through clubs, bands and projects for well over twenty years, now finally in the same lane.

"I've been friends with Zip Martini for about twenty years. We've been in the same music circles, at gigs and at record dances," Foxy Trickster continues. She is also known by her DJ name Foxy Pum Pum. Zip Martini, meanwhile, performs as DJ John Wayne and has organized several classic club nights.

Authenticity matters to Sofia Memphis in everything they do, and that also shows in the fact that the single was recorded at Bar Loose, a legendary rock venue in Helsinki. Recording and mixing were handled by Johan Forslund, whose work can also be heard on recent releases by Finnish band Saimaa.

The live calendar is filling up month by month, and the debut album will be released later this year. Sofia Memphis are here to leave a mark.
