When Music Becomes an Ecstatic Journey

The enchanting “Drugs” takes listeners on a journey through its dreamy, layered vocals, accompanied by plaintive guitar melodies that effortlessly lead into a soaring chorus. The song captures those pivotal coming-of-age moments, where passion and uncertainty collide, leaving young individuals at a crossroads, yearning for the next chapter of their lives.

Reflecting on her latest single, Philine Sonny expresses, “‘Drugs’ is the soundtrack to the movie playing in your head. It’s a romanticized idea of what life would look like if one was bold and reckless enough to let go of fear and daring to lose everything for the sake of feeling alive.”

To complement the mesmerizing soundscape of “Drugs,” Sonny teamed up with director Fabian Süggeler to create an immersive music video. The video seamlessly blends two distinct levels: one with a captivating drawn image effect achieved through meticulous photo printing and stop-motion techniques, and another showcasing a “real-life” sequence filmed at a junkyard. The dedication and artistry that Philine poured into perfecting the stop-motion effect is evident in the stunning result, leaving audiences in awe.

Philine Sonny’s evocative storytelling and edgy, alternative resonance shine brightly in “Drugs,” providing a tantalizing glimpse into the sonic landscape of her upcoming EP, “Invader,” set to captivate listeners in early 2024.
