For those not in the know, Santa Barbara-based singer-songwriter Nicole Sophia creates lyrically rich indie pop/rock that radiates joy, boldness, and vulnerability. Known as “the girl of a thousand questions,” she began writing songs as a way to process the beautiful mess of being human, a practice that has since grown into her calling.

Her debut EP, Reveal Your Heart (2024) captured the yearning and curiosity of early adulthood and introduced her as a fresh, fearless voice. Since then, Nicole has continued to evolve both sonically and personally, honing a sound that is as playful as it is poignant.

Now, with a loyal and growing fanbase of over 100K across socials and tens of thousands of streams, Nicole released her second record, FERAL, in October 2025.

Born from a period of heartbreak, self-discovery, and reclaiming freedom, the record is wild, raw, and unapologetically personal. From flirty anthems like “Meet Me in the Bathroom” to gut-punch confessionals like “If You’re Gonna Love Me,” the album showcases her range as both a writer and performer.

1. “Too Young To Die”
2. “Sweet Melancholy”
3. “Some Kind of Soulmates”
4. “Meet Me in the Bathroom”
5. “Dark Chocolate”
6. “Sex on the Internet”
7. “Hope That We’ll Figure It Out”
8. “If You’re Gonna Love Me”
9. “Praying for a Positive Sign”
10. “Everything’s Gonna Be Fine”

Growing and expanding sonically as an artist, Nicole’s new album opens on the alt-rock of “Too Young To Die” and then brings us the anything but “Sweet Melancholy”, the upbeat and fearless “Some Kind of Soulmates”, the low-slung mid-tempo “Meet Me in the Bathroom” and the quaintly melodious “Dark Chocolate.”

Along next is the jovial, fun-paced pop-tastic “Sex on the Internet” and that is in turn backed by the rhythmically intoxicating “Hope That We’ll Figure It Out,” the quietly countrified “If You’re Gonna Love Me,” the set rounding out on the alt-pop brilliance of “Praying for a Positive Sign,” closing out on the stoically-structured, veritably ethereal, yet with a positive beat to it “Everything’s Gonna Be Fine.”
