"I Still Want to Share follows Jamieson’s acclaimed debut and continues her exploration of raw and introspective storytelling through music." - Under The Radar


“Enthralling... a remarkable match of intimacy and intensity... consistently startling and affecting.”

- Uncut: 9/10


“A raw, intimate, brilliant debut, falling somewhere between Sharon Van Etten, Lisa Germano and PJ Harvey... Her torch-song voice is often exposed by spare arrangements, but songs also burst into euphoric life, like exorcisms... every second is disarming and beautiful.” - MOJO: 4*

London-based songwriter Sophie Jamieson will release her highly anticipated second album I still want to share next Friday, January 17 via Bella Union. Earning acclaim spanning The Needle DropBrooklynVeganUnder The RadarGuitar Girl Magazine, Northern TransmissionsMystic SonsThe Line Of Best Fit and more, the album was co-produced in London by Sophie Jamieson with the Grammy Award-winning Guy Massey (Spiritualized, Manic Street Preachers, The Beatles’ back-catalogue remastering).


Throughout I still want to share, Sophie takes the enormity of the word ‘love’ and peels back its layers. New single “Vista,” is a woozy ballad and a sweeping reflection of what it can mean to fall in love. It chronicles the dizzying intensity while also reflecting on how easy it is to lose yourself to it all, when you are constantly seeking footing in another person. She shares, "Written in the midst of falling in love, I think I sensed the danger in my own emotions. It was intense and rapid, and though I didn’t realise it at the time, this song seems to reveal my awareness of losing myself very quickly. I felt like a child, in good and bad ways. Everything felt electrified, but also lonely. I found myself painting this picture of a long car drive along cliffs under empty skies, constantly ruining everything, always asking for too much."

If Sophie’s debut LP Choosing explored the self-destructive urge that swells from running away from one’s whole self, I still want to share muscles through, song by song, doing its best to face it. It lifts the lid on the roots of how we love and digs in even deeper, leaning into our deficiencies but doing so from a stronger, healthier place that is much less afraid of the pain that inevitably comes with feeling everything.


I still want to share also feels more exploratory, playful, and detailed with a richer palette. All the raw emotion of Sophie’s songwriting and vocal delivery is joined by some new characters: twinkly, toy-like omnichord, brooding layers of harmonium and sub-bass, as well as rich string arrangements - courtesy of Josephine Stephenson (Daughter, Ex:Re, Lisa Hannigan) - that weave a yearning connection through the beating heart of the record. “There’s a lot of warm autumnal colors, and then more glittery, dark, starry skies. Something about it all has really come together to illustrate some things that I didn't know I needed to articulate in this way”, Sophie explains.
