Rising pop star Sophie Powers joins forces with genre-defying producer and multi-instrumentalist RJ Pasin for the release of “XO”—a bold new single that crashes hyperpop’s high-gloss aesthetic into the visceral rawness of metalcore. The track is available now on all major streaming platforms.

Built on glitch-heavy textures, cinematic breakdowns, and emotionally-charged vocals, “XO” captures a generation’s rage, confusion, and desire for agency. Sophie’s fierce lyrical bite meets Pasin’s explosive production in a track that feels like falling in love at full speed… with the brakes cut.
“‘XO’ is pure femme fatale energy—like kissing destruction on the mouth,” says Sophie. “Working with RJ unlocked this wild sonic tension I’ve been chasing for a while. It’s the sound of me stepping into womanhood, claiming my power, and still recklessly chasing chaos like it’s love.”
With over 300 million streams to his name and credits alongside Sexy Redd, Flo Milli, Bring Me The Horizon, and more, RJ Pasin infuses the track with unpredictable intensity, fusing cinematic metalcore, emo rap, and experimental math rock into a soundscape that amplifies Sophie’s voice without eclipsing it.
Known for her unfiltered honesty and genre-bending sound, Sophie Powers has emerged as a bold new voice in alt-pop. At just 20 years old, the Toronto-born, LA-based artist has already been recognized by PAPER, The FADER, Alternative Press, and Stereogum for her fearless artistry, visual flair, and devotion to building a space for the sharp-minded and misunderstood.
