SOFI NOVA is a new favourite for the Kenya Grace fans
There’s a unique thing happening on the border of drum & bass and pop music at the moment..
One of the artists pushing this sound is SOFI NOVA, who shared her soft, spacey, and unexpectedly gut-wrenching new single. It’s giving late-night playlist energy, the kind you throw on when you’re emotionally tapped out but still need something to hold onto. And if you’re into the new wave of pop-drum-and-bass hybrids à la PinkPantheress or Kenya Grace, this one’s going to hit home.
There’s been this quiet explosion of dreamy, breakbeat-backed pop lately, and Sofi slides into that scene effortlessly—but with her own spin. Instead of leaning into TikTok-quick drops or big choruses, she keeps it lowkey. The beat shuffles underneath her like a heartbeat on autopilot, while her vocals float just above, soft but resolute. It’s less about falling apart and more about deciding not to anymore. No drama, just honesty.
The production’s got this DIY polish to it—turns out it was made in her bedroom with longtime collaborator George Gianluca—and that just adds to the intimacy. It feels like a voice note you weren’t supposed to hear, or a journal entry dressed up as a song.
With artists like PinkPantheress opening the door for delicate vocals over ravey drums, and Kenya Grace giving heartbreak a club edge, Sofi’s carving out her own corner of the vibe: gentler, spacier, but just as emotionally raw. I Can’t Keep Driving doesn’t scream for attention—it whispers something you’ve probably needed to hear.
