Fenne Lily

“I never asked you to change and you’re treating me like I did the more I’m thinking about it, maybe I should’ve started”

Fenne Lily opens her third album with a confrontation. At odds with the UK-born, New York-based artist’s dulcet delivery, this acerbic assessment of an intimate situation sets the tone for her new album perfectly. From the first line to the last, Big Picture finds Fenne seeking clarity in the uncertain; comfort in the uncomfortable.

A gorgeous and gripping portrait of Fenne’s last two years, Big Picture was rarely easy for its author to produce but its contents offer a brilliant catharsis. Started haltingly after a period of writer’s block, the songs that would make up her latest work were pieced together over the course of the pandemic, in an effort to self-soothe. “Writing this album was my attempt at bringing some kind of order to the disaster that was 2020,” Fenne states. “By documenting the most vulnerable parts of that time, I felt like I reclaimed some kind of autonomy.”

“This album is an observation of the way I think about love, the self-examination that comes with closeness and the responsibilities involved in being a big part of someone else’s small(er) world,” summarizes Fenne. “It was written in a place of relative emotional stability – stability that felt unstable because of its newness, but also because of the global context. 2020 was the year of letting go, but we’d all already let go of so much and nothing felt like mine anymore. Writing always did, though, so that’s what I chose to do.”

Sofia Wolfson

Sofia Wolfson is a musician and writer from LA, now based in Brooklyn. Her 2nd EP Adulting, produced by Marshall Vore, centered on songs of estrangement and isolation, all written while living in Boston for school. Her forthcoming album Imposing on a Hometown (produced by Gabe Wax) is the EP’s sequel in ways, exploring the dissociative experience of returning to a place that doesn’t feel entirely like home anymore. While recording the album, she simultaneously wrote her first novel, fascinated by how the two long-form mediums informed one another. She’s currently a student in the New School’s MFA Writing Program and her writing has been published in Westwind, Open Ceilings, Teeth Magazine and more.
