Sofia Gobbi – With Gold

Making waves since the release of ‘idk’ earlier in the year, Sofia Gobbi keeps her momentum rolling as she announces her latest single, ‘With Gold’.

The latest teaser to be released from her forthcoming debut album ‘Bigger Man’, the track sees Sofia swap the pounding rhythms of indie rock for a more reserved, cathartic folk-pop effort. Already winning the backing of the likes of BBC Radio 1 and Earmilk, the London-based singer looks to put her name on the map.

Coupling an indie-folk soundscape with a colourful pop attitude, ‘With Gold’ sees Gobbi deliver her most delicate yet empowering track to date. Built around a dynamic guitar arpeggio, the subtlety of the single’s arrangement echoes its themes of fracture and repair. The release was additionally recorded in one take, leaning into Sofia’s ownership of imperfection and its beauty.

“Recording the song in one take, with nothing to hide behind, felt like the truest way to tell that story.”

‘With Gold’ transforms personal pain into a bold anthem of resilience and starting over. Its striking lyrics tell tales of turning heartbreak into strength, wrapping a story brimming with hurt in pride and power, as Gobbi delivers a track that is both infectious and cathartic.

“’With Gold’ is about finding light after the dark, about struggle, renewal, and learning to see beauty in what’s been broken,” Gobbi explains. “The track draws inspiration from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold lacquer to highlight its cracks, rather than hide them. That philosophy shines through in the lyric, “you broke me into pieces, but I glued them back with gold,” which I feel really captures the song’s message. I wanted to say that our scars don’t diminish us, they just make us shine brighter.”
