Sophie calls All Shook Up “an album of first instincts”. Produced with the expert help of J Walker of Machine Translations fame, the album is beautiful simplicity mixed with musical experimentation – where exquisite melody meets sampled beats and subtly layered production. All Shook Up is the perfect progression for Sophie, and one that gives listeners further insight into the woman behind the music. “This is a lot more personal album than the first one,” explains Sophie. “I’m a lot more mature and confident, and I hope people can hear that. I want people to experience the variety and the shape”

The album comes almost three years after All The Pretty Boys and what a three years its been. In between bouts of writer’s block, a mixing console blowing up and international sojourns to visit her songwriting partner Tim Reid in the UK and Italy, Sophie has shared stages with everyone from The Eels, Paul Kelly, Pete Murray, Alex Lloyd to The Go Betweens; appeared on RocKwiz with Jimmy Little & recently with with Steve Kilbey (The Church) and contributed the track ‘Charlie’ to the popular She Will Have Her Way Finn Brothers tribute album (Tim Finn’s favorite). Sophie now lives in Melbourne, but was born in New Zealand. Her mum and dad are from Malaysia, but she grew up in Singapore and New Zealand, and was ‘Unearthed’ by Triple J in Darwin. It was said ‘unearthing’ that kicked off the series of strength-to-strength events that thrust Sophie Koh into Australia’s consciousness.
