OKP Premiere: Sophia Bastian - "Blind Ambition" (prod. Phil Simmonds)

NYC Soul Singer Sophia Bastian Teams With UK Producer Phil Simmonds On The New Single "Blind Ambition" Ahead Of Her Forthcoming EP.

New York soul singer Sophia Bastian teams with UK producer Phil Simmonds on the gutsy new single "Blind Ambition" - a smoldering stomp that primes fans for her forthcoming EP. The latest since Bastian's 2013 Juvenile Blues EP, the single combines folk with an undercurrent of infectious rhythm and plenty of fighting words. Lord Jesus, it's a fire!

"The song is about that fantasy of how you’ll show up your frenemies. It comes from that schoolyard mentality -- when you're feeling left out and betrayed, even. And so I bring myself back into the boxing ring with a boost of confidence and a boasty chant."

Check out the track below to listen to "Blind Ambition." Look out for the single and official video, arriving on April 12th. Purchase the Juvenile Blues EP via iTunes. Follow Sophia Bastian via Twitter at @SophiaBastian for more.
