After a two-year pause, Edinburgh singer-songwriter Sophie Penman is back, and sounding better than ever. Her brand-new single 'Albert Street' is a heartfelt, harmony-rich track inspired by reflective walks through her hometown after time spent abroad. It’s a song about memory, rediscovery, and the quiet power of coming home, and it might just be her strongest release to date.
'Albert Street' glows with soulful vocals, thoughtful lyrics, and a musicality shaped by her background in classical violin and Scottish folk. Influenced by the likes of Eva Cassidy, Bonnie Raitt, and Norah Jones, she blends emotional honesty with melodic flair, and this track hits the sweet spot between intimacy and anthemic beauty.
With a debut album already under her belt and performance highlights ranging from BBC 4 Loose Ends Live to Edinburgh Castle, Sophie Penman is no stranger to the stage. Now based in Glasgow and working closely with the Hen Hoose collective, she’s clearly entering a bold new phase.
