Hello and welcome to the Monaco Weekly.
For today's show, I speak with Austrian singer Sophie Royer about her new album, Young Girl Forever.
The electropop album paints the contradictions of being a female artist today.
Here is Sophie with more.
Sophie Royer.
First of all, welcome to Monaco Radio.
A pleasure to have you here.
I love your music.
Thank you.
I don't know if you've seen, but I've added.
We did a special on Austrian pop and I've added you as well on the list.
But of course, your parents are from both Austria and Iran, but you grew up in California.
I actually didn't know that before reading up more about you.
Yeah, my mother's Austrian, my father's Iranian, and they were both engineers.
And that's why I was born in Palo Alto, California, because they were working for Apple at the time.
Yeah, it's fun.
And.
Well, let's talk about your new album, which I think is fantastic.
So it was inspired by a book called Preliminary Materials for the Theory of a Young Girl.
So tell us what made you connect to that piece of work so much so that you even titled your alb?
