Sofia Zadar is the moniker of Romanian queer musician Maria Sgarcitu. Sgarcitu has had a fantastic couple of years, their recently released music has attracted the support of tastemakers, and their global fanbase has continued to grow. After living in Berlin, Barcelona and Cambridge, their unique sound is cosmopolitan, and pays homage to many different genres and music influences.
Their latest offering comes in the form of single “Nostos.” Merging infectious beats and heartwarming vocals together, the track is sure to pick you up and leave you wanting more. Accompanying is a colourful music video that works hand in glove.
Speaking about the single, she says: “Nostos is my love letter to care and presence through hardship. I believe our capacity to thrive and be resilient is tightly knit to the nurture we receive from ourselves and our communities. Nostos is homecoming, a return to solace, but also opens up the question of how to stay with the trouble and show up when distress overwhelms.”
With an E.P set to be released in the not too distant future, we can see Zadar going straight to the top.
