[@violetbaudelaire7353]

I bet "It's Okay To Cry" was very quiet so that everyone would turn their headphones up, hear 3 seconds of Pony Boy, and instantly vaporise

[@vulniguta]

SOPHIE came out as a trans woman with this album, so you can definitely see the themes of dysphoria, the immateriality of gender, living as your true self after a life of pretending and accepting your traumas and who you really are deep down

[@voodoosleeper]

"I'm real when I shop my face" that lyric, like, you only get it if you get it. Body and gender dysphoria, trans identity, gender queerness, social media, the influence of the internet and the availability of technology, it's all there in that line. She was a genius, full stop.

[@AvantGardeAristocrat]

6:48 "maybe it's just a quieter album" oh boy was she in for a surprise LOL

[@FernStone]

😂😂😂😂 I know , nearly blew my head off !

[@ni6028]

*insert ponyboy*

[@Lostwig]

sophie was a true force in the music industry. her presence will forever remain as she is the moon that shines over us

[@FernStone]

This is beautiful

[@LoveJungle420]

🙏🏿

[@wrustria]

I love seeing someone who just gets “it”. Some people listen to this type of music and just laugh and think it’s ridiculous. You really can “feel” this type of production and sound design, its so tangible and textured.

[@FernStone]

I'm blown away by it and so happy I got introduced to it through KZbin subs !! I can't imagine never hearing it ... I think its for a particular type of mind haha !! one we here , all have ! Thank you by the way ! this is an awesome comment !

[@TheDreamingJune]

Same here. I once played this song for my friends and some of them thought it was goofy. But the ones who get it realise it's a truly special album.

[@orgyonmyown]

Fun Fact: SOPHIE came from Scottland and the album title sounds like "I love every persons insides" in a Scottish accent. She was a kind and caring soul. Rest In Power Queen 🏳️‍⚧️💞

[@FernStone]

:O omg ... that's an amazing fun fact !! Absolutely ,,, so glad I got to hear her

[@sassytabasco]

That is so goddamn fucking funny lol what a wonderful artist

[@JohnyBird]

When SOPHIE says "I don't even need to know your reason, it's ok to cry" while I'm crying about her passing feels almost like she's telling me personally that everything's going to be alright

[@Dschoanig]

This album is phenomenally produced. It would make for an crazy experience in a club/concert setting, the way it is mixed, with visceral sounds contrasting these beautiful vibes. But it's still very rewarding for headphone listening because of all the details you can discover. One of a kind

[@iluvujeasus2239]

Sophie also did a livestream that was basically the length of a whole album. It’s on KZbin and it’s called “Heaven Suspended” it was her last full body of work before she died. I feel like you would really love it

[@FernStone]

Oooh this sounds great !!

[@WILLIEVIGILANTE]

Whole new world represents the celebration of ego while pretend world represents the death of ego. This can easily be analogous with our journey from life to death. So bittersweet and beautiful!

[@TheDreamingJune]

I ADORE this album and consider it one of the most important records of the 2010s. It was such a gamechanger that expanded my understanding of electronic music in a different way. Songs like "Is It Cold In the Water", " Infatuation" and "Pretending" take me to another place and are utterly transcendental. I hope wherever Sophie is she's smiling down at us knowing that the impact of her music is not forgotten. She was such a remarkable artist ♡

[@downhill2k013]

“Maybe it’s just a quieter album” uh oh

[@ponyboy3016]

I’ve been into Sophie for so long, like way before this album. Her passing was an absolute tragedy but since her death I’ve seen so many people reacting to her music and although I and many others miss her dearly I love seeing her music finally get the appreciation it deserves

[@shanelt2786]

10:44 her predicting the ponyboy synth omg

[@FernStone]

Omg hahhahaha yes 😂

[@lewiswoodhall]

some people definitely have a musical ear. fern does!!

[@The_bleak_boy]

Sophie's passing was heartbreaking to me, the first heartbreak of 2021. Her first album Product had the hugest influence on electronic music, allowing her to work in the studio with Madonna, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Charli Xcx, Kendrick L., and so many other big names. She was actually supposed to produce Lady Gagas latest album Chromatica, but Gagas record label felt like the experimental sound was too risky. This constantly happened to her with several different artists. She was constantly breaking musical boundries, but was never allowed to achieve the mainstream success she worked for because of big record labels. Not to mention being dragged to the Grammys, only to be misgendered and robbed of her award. She was such a strong fierce presence in the face of so much negativity directed at her gender expression, and her music. But she is widely known as the mother of hyperpop. She definitely paved the way for so many great artists.

[@FernStone]

This is incredibly emotional ... What a QUEEN ... She deserved so much more ,,, but at the same time she has lit up so many peoples hearts and parts of themselves they didn't know they had !

[@OnMyOwn__4]

But actually she worked with Gaga on some songs.. and they actually want to drop them to honour her influence on the remix album..

[@mut3st93]

@@OnMyOwn__4 where did you read that?

[@Zultzify]

thanks for this info, i had no clue she was supposed to do chromatica, i hope someday we get her version of it!

[@ClaytonGoldhawk]

The thing that pissed me off the most about the Grammys is that she lost to A REMIX ALBUM. I mean I love Justice, and the album is great, but how can you take away the win from such a boundary breaking album. Just makes me sad

[@CalumNesbitt]

you’ve SO QUICKLY become my favourite reaction channel. I love all the personal insight u bring to these unique albums. Appreciate u so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@FernStone]

🥲🥲🥲 this makes me so so so happy 🥰🥰🥰

[@educostanzo]

It's strange how this album sets up the expectations in the 1st track which is so vulnerable and quiet and personal and then blasts your ears in the following tracks, so textural and glitchy and maximalist, abrasive and trippy. I could almost eat some of those sounds, love it.

[@xxjestertheclownxx]

this album means so much to me as a trans person and when sophie passed i genuinely couldnt process it because her music has helped me through so much. im a trans masc, queer, and disabled person living in texas and her music has made me feel safe despite my rights always being discussed and taken away. i miss her a lot and being able to share her music and perspective of the trans experience is really amazing and beautiful. im so happy you listened to this.

[@CobaltLuster]

In SOPHIE's Scottish accent, "Oil of every pearl's un-insides" sounds a bit like "I love every person's insides"

[@eduardoalvaradosalazar7830]

I was TODAY's years old when I learned this, wow

[@SuckichVideos]

Super unrelated but LIVING for your makeup!!! It's so pop and so chill at the same time. Great reaction ✨✨ Also thought I went deaf at 42:12 😂😂

[@FernStone]

Thank you so much , that's really nice of you to say

[@KeenHunter]

This a building block for hyperpop alongside Product. She never did no wrong may she rest in peace. I discovered my love for this sound and realized how much she'd contributed after a livestream of this album when it first dropped.

[@enigmatic9118]

I remember so clearly... The day SOPHIE died, I stared at the sky and listened to Pretending and just cried. At the end of you reacting to Pretending I was crying... SOPHIE's death has been so fucking hard for so many. Ever since she has passed I've struggled listening to her because it absolutely depresses me... She is uniquely amazing.

[@voodoosleeper]

I'm still dealing with her passing. It just... isn't fair. I know as well as anyone that life isn't fair but I want to throw a tantrum, the world needed Sophie and it's broken me that we lost her voice in this age of madness.

[@enigmatic9118]

@@voodoosleeper I feel this too hard. It's a deeply hard life to live, not even taking into account differences. You and I are still here! We exist. 100 years from now, nobody can take that from us.

[@PaulKratovil]

What an amazing reaction. Fern you took us to space! Thank you. So many thoughts...I'll be honest when you read the lyric from It's OK to Cry & spoke about them. I did cry. In fact, I sobbed!! No really sobbed. What an amazing artist, huh? New to me too & already gone. Why does that hurt me so much? I love to see you love music. Thanks for the ride!

[@FernStone]

Love that you watched this and heard Sophie for the first time too ! It’s great hearing new music . But yes , truly sad I feel it too 💕

[@kierangrassi292]

Definitely suggest listening to PRODUCT. Its a compilation/unofficial album of early singles she released. She also produces a few of Charli's songs. "Out of my head" on Pop 2 was produced by her, as well as everything on the Vroom Vroom EP. But I definitely suggest checking out Pop 2 first, cause that features Caroline Polacheck as well.

[@rensvh98]

I second this!! PRODUCT is amazing, my favorite song on it is HARD. Really like BIPP and UNISIL too

[@seba3984]

totally enjoyed this video so much, watching you being so transparent with someone as important as Sophie for me it just fulls my heart. you should react to Arca’s self titled “Arca” album, she is an mind blowing producer and artist, she was a pretty close friend with Sophie, is a really good choice if you wanna keep trying more experimental music.

[@FernStone]

I’ve done one of ARCAs albums so far , Kick i . I do aim to do more 😍 thank you so much !!!

[@francgo]

I adore Infatuation. One of the most gorgeous songs ever made in my opinion.

[@paris9887]

The way you said not okay sounds like an arcade is spot on! I never thought of it that way 😮

[@comeawaywithme]

Your reaction to this was beautiful. So glad Sophie could touch you the way she touched all of us when she was here. You were on point when she said her music will live on.

[@ДаниилАмиров-ь5б]

yes! faceshoping is soo screechy industreal and aggressive especially at the end after such a unecspected soft part. love it! also love builds when more and more instruments and sounds added. like want this build to go forever. it might soung like noise made of too much instruments but there us something.. this type of music not for.. its not a "story with plot", but feelings and expirience

[@naranjamindlessvision]

the story with the song Pretending is that it was a full on song with lyrics and everything but she felt like if she took about a 20 second clip and timestretched it out to almost 6 minutes captured the same idea of what she was trying to portray with the full original song... the "motorbike" sound was one of those low growly vocals slowed way down

[@FernStone]

IF you want to watch it now UN-CUT , you can go to my Patreon and watch it there ! If not , no worries at all

[@Wolfstar26]

your reaction to ponyboy made me instantly know i'd love you lol

[@TY_2020]

Look up "Pretending Faster" if you wanna know the origin of it. "'Pretending' was made from a song I wrote called 'Pretending', which was a full song with lyrics and vocals and everything. And then I just thought it was a bit too literal. When I really manipulated it and extended it, I felt it kept the sentiment of the song without being so literal. I suppose that’s what I try to do, generally speaking."

[@FernStone]

Wow , just listened .... so incredible ... ! So genius .

[@eduardoalvaradosalazar7830]

I have heard so few no-skip albums (because of course that's subjective to one's tastes) but this is the one that I enjoy the most. I cannot even fathom how someone could have thought in creating such amazing songs. For real this album is amazing. God bring Sophie back please 😭

[@meltwater.3070]

would love to see your reaction to flume's hi this is flume mixtape! sophie features on a track and flume said its primarily inspired by her and other incredibly creative (and mentally insane) electronic producers :) that mixtape is honestly the craziest and glitchiest 38 minutes ive ever lived through!!

[@garciafigueroasergiodejesu1069]

Lmao at 17:10 you were literally transcending, I love your reactionss

[@FernStone]

Yes !!! 😂😂

[@Doraphobic]

This album was and continues to be a spiritual journey for me.

[@Armando-ob8yd]

I'm obsessed with this channel and I never even got that into Sophie, invested now tho. also for some reason I think fern would love M3LL155X by FKA twigs

[@werewejustpretending1963]

"Pretending" was actually gonna be a song with full vocals and everything!

[@wesleyollewagen]

FERN FINALLY REACTED TO SOPHIE IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE 😭😭😭💗💗💗💗

[@dylanfallon6720]

I'm very happy your channel was recommended to me. This made me feel like I'm listening to the album in a new angle because of your thoughts and insights about it. I felt like I was in the space most of the time I'm listening to this album, especially around the ambient ones. I hope you'll check out the remix album of this one, it's just as interesting, especially if you're into techno. Looking forward to watch more from you!

[@FernStone]

Awww I’m so pleased 😃 !! I really do want to listen to the remix album for sure !! 💕🎵

[@ClaytonGoldhawk]

So happy to hear that you love this album. This was such an in depth review, and loved how attentive you were with all the details, because that is what I enjoy thoroughly with SOPHIEs music. Also Cecile Believe lends her vocals to a lot of the core tracks (its not okay to cry is the only one with SOPHIEs) if you liked her vocals she has an amazing album called 'Plucking a Cherry from the Void' and I would highly recommend listening to that. Not as experimental as SOPHIE but definitely is in it's own right.

[@TY_2020]

Rewatching this video for like the 1000th time, I just love this album so much. Faceshopping might just be my favorite song ever.

[@nimck-y2z]

Only 13:00 minutes in and I've cried and laughed my ass off at the first two song reactions. Don't know why I'm having such an emotional reaction to this

[@FernStone]

Awww

[@rubenrijsdijk]

Back after the Sophie album, love how you inknowingly reference lyrics from the new album like "always and forever"

[@EjNoahe]

I usually skip to the songs I love most with persons listening and reacting but…Not for you! Your energy and vibe and deacation and positivity genuinely is so warm to see and your genuine positive reactions ❤❤❤

[@trash9061]

this reaction was priceless ty so much!!

[@graememartin6656]

So excited!

[@Vindrag]

thank you so much for doing this album!! one of the best modern albums!! I had no idea she passed away before I read a comment on this video... i'm so sad and i've played sophie all day long!!! So sad!!! =( thank you once again and rest in peace sophie!!! 🙏

[@nikoguarro]

Have you watch Contrapoints video "Beauty"? Faceshopping plays in the intro to that video.

[@PitoKonPus]

Thank you very very much for this video Had a wee cry of joy watching you reacting to the album not going to lie, but SOPHIE said it in the beginning of the album "It's ok to cry"... She washed my perception of music away and expanded the limits of what it could and couldn't be. I will always hold her in a very special place in my heart. Her passing out absolutely devastated me and seeing you genuinely enjoying the album made me so happy :') It's also amazing how receptive for her music you've been throughout all the video, and how fast you got her message. Have never hit suscribed faster to any other channel in my life 💜 And also, maybe you would enjoy reacting to "Clear Taimei/Steel Mogu" or "Lei Line Eon" by Iglooghost, or any other song by him, He is also very experimental and organic, pretty underrated in my opinion. Here are the links in case you want to try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHKrqYFqfdhpqJY / kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp_VY2iCZsmcsKc (maybe the first one is better for a video, but i've seen a couple reactions of the second one as well 😀)

[@FernStone]

This is so wonderful , thank you so much truly ! I was blown away by this wonderful album honestly . Makes me so very sad to think she isn’t here to carry on creating , but her work will last light years with how brilliant it is ! Oooh thank you I shall write them down .

[@tacosarethebest7377]

fun fact ; pretending sped up says “i was just pretending”. they have it on youtube it sounds quite scary but very pretty. she’s so creative

[@bach8047]

Loved watching this! I would recommend listening to the Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides Non-Stop remix album, it’s two continuous mixes of reworked versions of this album. What I love about it is it feels like an expansion of all of the sonic ideas from this album but taken even further!

[@kevinwillems8720]

Oh you get it, YOU GET IT! Subbed, love the reaction, love the insight you bring to it!

God I love both you and Sophie so much

[@polymathmusic5371]

I first heard ponyboy on a tv show called O.A. and took a while to figure out who it was but she has inspired me in my music, production, and sound design. I'm currently working on sound design inspired from her sound design and them I'm going to make my second album using the sound design stuff I'm making. I just released my first album January 5th 2022 and its all electronic and instrumental stuff which i like but they don't hit hard like Sophie's work. i have my own sound but i want to bring in some of the stuff that's in ponyboy and faceshopping and the other hard crazy sounds that are in her other songs but i want to make sure it still sounds like my sound but still be clear what my inspiration is. the way i compose and the way i do sound design, it always sounds like my stuff bc i am self taught and only know how to make music the way i do it and i just try to make the music that i personally love which I'm happy as long as I like it and even if its not a popular sound I'm sure there will be a small group of people that love music that will be able to enjoy my stuff as long as they are able to find my music. I do have to work on promoting my music in a way that cost nothing bc I'm poor.

[@Cordial_Lump]

love that you made this video and gave each song such respect... love sophie, will always wonder what could've been

[@tangent5]

doesnt need to be in a video but you should def check out the remix album! its called a remix album but it feels like a separate project imo, just more of sophie's genius production. (and great reaction as usual

[@alexdaniel4340]

So… Oil of every pearls un-insides means „I love every person insides“ ✨

[@enigmatic9118]

I'm also gonna recommend listening to Cecile Believe. She is SOPHIE's vocalist, with the exception for It's Okay to Cry which SOPHIE personally sang because it was her coming out song. But please react to Cecile Believe. Her music is also experimental and her voice is amazing.

[@TrazzyStar]

So excited 😆
