“A singer who has honed and gathered her various vocal styles — somber folk singer, saucy pop gal, note-bending jazz chanteuse — into a sleek, multifaceted whole,” states ROLLING STONE. “I am not really sure where to begin with my praise for Sophie B. Hawkins after seeing her commanding performance as Janis Joplin,” raves BROADWAY WORLD. “Sophie B. Hawkins lightens up on ‘Wilderness’ with a sound and aura evocative of Laura Nyro and Nina Simone,” says the PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS.
GRAMMY® Award Nominated & Chart-Topping Singer and Songwriter SOPHIE B. HAWKINS emerged as a vibrant force on the musical landscape with the arrival of her Platinum-Selling debut album 'Tongues and Tails', and its iconic lead single "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover". Hawkins' ever-evolving career has included releasing six widely beloved albums; breaking chart records with her smash #1 hit "As I Lay Me Down" which was the longest-running single in Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart history; four worldwide #1 hit singles from her album 'Whaler'; songs in cultural touchstone TV Shows & Films (from recent hits Stranger Things, Euphoria, Ozark, The Blacklist and PEN15, to landmark series Beverly Hills 90210, Dawson's Creek, The L Word and more); and a critically-lauded tour-de-force performance in the starring role as Janis Joplin in the acclaimed musical 'Room 105'. "Her singing sprawls on pillowy, airy keyboard tones, and her songs are sultry grooves..." says the NEW YORK TIMES.
