Sophia Stel – Now I’ve Got A Lot You Know
Vancouver artist and producer Sophia Stel has just shared her new single “Now I’ve Got A Lot You Know”.
Self-produced and written by Stel, the heartfelt track arrives alongside a self-edited music video that features her two younger brothers, who she shares an apartment with in Vancouver, and documents her journey over the course of the last six months — including her run opening for Lorde at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in May and headline international tour. “Now I’ve Got A Lot You Know” stamps her third release with A24 Music after June’s “Molly In The Club” and April’s “Bitches Talk Shit”, the latter of which garnered praise from the likes of Pitchfork — and even caught the attention of Robyn. In addition to the announcement that she’ll be playing A.G. Cook and PC Music’s POP CRYPT this fall and her feature in Wonderland Magazine’s Summer 2026 issue, which was guest edited by Miley Cyrus, recent months have also seen Stel make her runway debut at Ann Demeulemeester’s Paris Fashion Week SS26 show, grace the covers of The Face and NME, and model spreads for Palace Skateboards and BASKETCASE following the release of her breakout EP, How to Win At Solitaire, the deluxe edition of which features collaborations with Mura Masa, Tommy Genesis, and Cecile Believe.
How to Win At Solitaire was produced, written, and recorded by Stel in a makeshift basement studio at Vancouver’s since shuttered Paradise, the DIY club she worked in at the time. Released last September, it served as her second project following her 2024 debut EP, Object Permanence. The 2025 deluxe edition featured sleeper hit “I’ll Take It”, which rapidly caught fire on TikTok — and earned her a co-sign from Troye Sivan. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, she first cut her teeth within Vancouver’s local music scene, turning heads for her free-flowing prose, Y2K-indebted visuals, and mythos-tinted autobiography. Coupling lyricism inspired by her everyday life with patchwork aesthetics infused with the spontaneous, DIY ethos of homemade digicam videos, Stel was recently selected for this year’s DAZED 100 and Pigeons & Planes’ 26 Artists To Watch In 2026 list, while earning spots on Best Of 2025 lists from The Face, Notion, Gorilla vs. Bear, and Hearing Things. She is currently working on her debut album.
