### **Sophia Marie’s New Song “Could I Be Your Muse?” Inspired By Recent Italian Semester Abroad**

_The ethereal second single off Sophia Marie’s upcoming sophomore EP is a vulnerable
exploration of her role as an artist, a romantic but desperate plea to finally become
the subject of art, not always the creator of it._

LA-raised singer-songwriter **Sophia Marie** has released the next single off her
upcoming sophomore EP.

Sophia says, _“Staring at Botticelli’s Birth of Venus at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence,
Italy during my study abroad this past summer, I reflected on the concept of muses,
specifically the fact that I as an artist and, therefore, a producer of Art, have
made many muses out of men throughout my songs but have never really had the same
done to me. “could i be your muse?” is thus a reflection on this lack of reciprocity,
imploring a man for once to take the burden of immortalizing me.”_

The track follows the [recent release of the single](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2022/12/la-native-sophia-marie-releases-new-80s-inspired-ballad-femme-fatale/)
[“Femme Fatale.”](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=13302861.34447.1.f0e58af07845c653491135be98deb223)

Sophia Marie’s music is autobiographical. Each of her songs tells the story of a
young life in progress. From leaving the sunny, casual west coast for a more buttoned-
up DC life at Georgetown University (where she studies International Politics) to
a life-changing semester abroad in Dublin, to unrequited romances and lovesick travels,
each of these experiences is vividly documented in her music.

Singer and songwriter Sophia Marie George is a Los Angeles native and senior in 
the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Harboring various passions,
she finds herself oscillating (sometimes rather chaotically) between many different
realms: her major in International Politics, her authorship of creative works, and
her love for acting in addition to her music.

Sophia often feels like an ambitious, lust-for-life, nomadic kind of girl without
a particular direction, one who doesn’t know exactly what she wants to do or who
she wants to be, or where she wants to end up, and her storytelling reflects that
indecisiveness, that impulsiveness, that desire to do everything while she’s young.
Drawing from her identity as a self-proclaimed “hopeless romantic,” Sophia has a
penchant for romanticizing historical figures and events, contemporary lovers, and
foreign cities, weaving in the story of her West Coast roots in sunny Los Angeles,
her university life in the political and cosmopolitan mecca that is Washington D.
C., and her role as an expatriate in foreign cities.

A shamelessly emotional person, Sophia’s vulnerability stands out, with witty lyrics
and asides giving comedic, realist commentary on the different places and situations
she finds herself in. She is a girl still very much figuring it all out, the kind
of crazy soul who seeks out every opportunity and every emotion life can offer. 
A wildness that sometimes contradicts her inexperienced and naive demeanor, a romanticism
that contradicts her occasional feelings of disillusionment, and a performative 
personality that often contradicts her desire for authenticity.
