Sophia Garvey doesn’t ask permission, she crashes through the door. Her latest single, “Let The Cat In” (via Score Global), is three minutes of raw, unfiltered energy: pop-rock with claws out, equal parts sultry, aggressive, and chaotic. Garvey scratches, screams, and prowls through every beat, turning desire into something animalistic, feral, and unapologetically loud.
Sonically, the track is anchored by snarling guitars, punchy drums, and hooks that feel just slightly dangerous. Garvey toys with lust as a physical, almost nefarious force, less naughty, more untamed. It’s reminiscent of 90s Madonna at her most confrontational: smeared eyeliner, sweat on the dancefloor, teeth bared. Every note, every lyric feels deliberately unhinged, a manifesto of independence and raw confidence.
Garvey’s DIY ethos permeates her work. Beginning her career at just 16, she’s collaborated with Richard Huxley, studied Fine Art at Leeds Arts University, and produced her own visuals alongside music for her EP Post Break Up Sex, which caught wider attention through Netflix’s You (Season 4). Her influences, Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey, Gorillaz, Britney Spears, and Madonna, intertwine to create a sound that’s chaotic yet precise, artful yet visceral.
“Let The Cat In” is the first taste of her forthcoming album Pure Filth, a record that promises no compromises. It’s confidence with an edge, emotion that refuses to be tamed, and a performance that’s as much about attitude as it is about music. Sophia Garvey doesn’t knock. She scratches. She enters on her own terms and leaves a mark you won’t forget.
