Pop disruptor Sophie Powers teams up with genre-defying artist and producer RJ Pasin on "XO," an explosive new single that plunges into a chaotic, cinematic soundscape where hyperpop’s frenetic energy collides with the raw power of metalcore.

"XO" captures the emotional volatility of a generation overwhelmed by societal pressure but unwilling to stay silent. With piercing, unapologetic vocals and a sharp lyrical perspective, Sophie cuts through the noise with fearless clarity. The result is a track that feels both defiant and cathartic, grounded in Sophie’s emotionally unfiltered delivery and signature melodic punch.

"'XO' is pure femme fatale energy—like kissing destruction on the mouth," Sophie shares. "Working with RJ Pasin unlocked this wild sonic tension I’ve been chasing for a while. It’s the sound of me stepping into womanhood, claiming my power, and still recklessly chasing chaos like it’s love. As Hannah Montana said, sometimes you really do get the best of both worlds—and this song is proof. My voice wraps around RJ's guitar in a way that feels both raw and hypnotic, but it’s that mysterious, unhinged energy that gives 'XO' it's heartbeat."

Driving the track’s sonic intensity is RJ Pasin, the multi-hyphenate producer known for fusing cinematic metalcore with emo rap and electronic math rock. RJ injects “XO” with glitch-heavy textures, punishing breakdowns, and a jolt of unpredictability. With over 300 million solo streams and credits alongside Sexy Redd, Flo Milli, Bring Me The Horizon, and more, RJ brings both subcultural grit and forward-thinking precision to the collaboration, amplifying Sophie’s voice without ever overshadowing it.

Sophie Powers is a sonic disruptor, a style innovator, and an unfiltered voice for a generation that refuses to be boxed in. At just 20 years old, the Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based artist is carving out space for sharp-minded, creative outcasts. Since her 2022 debut, Sophie has earned acclaim from PAPER, The FADER, Alternative Press, and Stereogum for her boundary-pushing sound and bold visuals.
