DAMN, I wish I had a new single from the mighty Sophie B Hawkins

Sunday 26th November 2023

In conjunction with Grammy® nominated singer/songwriter/musician Sophie B. Hawkin’s upcoming London headline performance on November 26th at The Forge, her first UK show in nearly two decades, the fan and critics’ favorite has announced a set of upcoming dance mixes of “Love Yourself,” partnering with the buzzy dance remix team, Until Dawn (Jim Sullivan and Craig Jones).  The pair have created a dance anthem, not only for the LBTQ+ community but for everyone.  “Love Yourself,” the standout single off the iconic singer-songwriter’s latest album Free Myself was released earlier this year.

Until Dawn have created three remixes: an Until Dawn Club Mix (4.37), an Until Dawn Tribal Mix (4:34), and an Until Dawn Radio Edit (3.24). Remixes and additional production by Jim Sullivan and Craig Jones c/o MWR. All mixes will be serviced to clubs this week. Scheduled for a worldwide multi-track single digital release on December 15 through Lightyear/Virgin/UMG, the remixes will initially be serviced to UK clubs. 

Craig Jones, who works with Jim Sullivan under the name Until Dawn, recently commented, “I can see this really working in the UK club market alongside the likes of Chappell Roan, Dua Lipa, Becky Hill, Jax Jones, etc.”  The renowned mix duo, Until Dawn, has created a torrent of recent successful dance mixes for multiple high-profile artists. 

“Love Yourself” has grown in me since the release of Free Myself,” reflects Sophie, adding, “Every time I perform it, which has been a hundred times, I smile at the story and the theme, because they are my real-life memories and my aspirations in the moment. I’m happy to share the song with my audience, I know I’m giving them something they can grow on, and we close the show with an a cappella version because it’s a gift of thank you for coming; ‘safe home and don’t forget to Love Yourself.’” Hawkins’s first new record in over a decade, Free Myself finds the beloved songwriter at the top of her game, sharing some of her most soul-stirring songs about love and resilience. Upon release, the album Free Myself was widely praised in the music media as a welcome return for Hawkins, with a particular spotlight on the “surprising vitality” of “Love Yourself.” American Songwriter noted its descriptive lyrics as “raw poetry” in its effusive praise of the song’s “soul-stirring… symphonic pop whimsy”; NPR Music highlighted the album as one of the “best [new] releases.” Forbes’s Steve Baltin highlighted fans’ growing attachment to “Love Yourself” as a staple in Hawkins’ live set, while taking the time to note: “I love the simplicity of the video, which very much reflects the self-care nature of the song.”
