Sofia Evangelina – Get Outta My Head (2022)
Taking a story that is relatively simple in nature, Sofia Evangelina brings the underlying complexities of unwillingly and uncontrollably falling in love to life with ‘Get Outta My Head’. Showing off her impressive vocal range, she taps into the feelings of this situation while blurring the lines between reality, dreams, memories and the illusions our emotions can create. Showing a musicality that belies her young age, the sonically textured single flows between pop and RnB with flawless ease.
A versatile vocalist, Evangelina brings her own spin to a universal tale using a touch of introspection and a flood of emotion. After beginning her musical career when her mother took her on the soul train to meet the greats, her passion for performance was ignited by Christina Aguilera’s performance in Burlesque. Since then, her alluring RnB style has won her awards, including the Rising Star award from the LA Music Critics Awards.
There is a catchy progressive opening to ‘Get Outta My Head’ that gets you lightly tapping your feet and bopping your head to the movement. From below, a sweep of rich RnB beats rise and have you falling into the almost moody vibes of the music. You can feel the touch of RnB and pop woven through the melody as the sound slinks into your muscles and sinks its hooks in deep. Through the flow of the music, you are drawn into the unstoppable fall of the emotions, before a delicate blurring of reality and dreams comes through. This is a really polished and sophisticated melody that masterfully blends different elements of genres together for a lush movement. You feel the urge to move to the beats on the chorus that rises like warm air to bolster the vocals, only to slide down into the verses that are packed with the moodier vibes.
Shining over this rich melody is Evangelina’s outstanding vocal performance that not only casts a spell over your senses, but also shows off her stunning vocal range. Her performance curls with a slightly smoky feeling through the opening verse before ghosting over your skin like the barest touch of satin. The lyrics tell the complicated story of falling in love even when you don’t want to. The chorus is catchy as she calls for the person to get out of her head, but there is a touch of frustrated acceptance that this won’t happen. As the single progresses, her performance loses some of the smokiness for a more traditional RnB slide that rises into glittering high notes which are utterly stunning.
Through the sophisticated slide of ‘Get Outta My Head’, Sofia Evangelina draws us into the unstoppable spiral of falling in love, while showcasing her impressive vocal range. Using a melody that is rich and polished, she taps into a slightly moody vibe, before blurring the lines of reality and dreams.
