Rising New York artist Sophia B unveils her latest single, “Mr. Wrong,” on December 28, 2024—a track that smoothly intertwines classic soul influences with contemporary pop sensibilities. Originally performed at Fiorella H. LaGuardia High School two years ago, this re-recorded version preserves the essence of its initial live performance while showcasing Sophia’s evolving style.
Featuring rich instrumentation, from lush piano chords to dramatic string flourishes, “Mr. Wrong” demonstrates her ability to fuse a vintage aesthetic with a fresh, modern edge. Support from LaGuardia alumni Kenji Golden and Berklee scholar Steven Mejia helped maintain the live energy of the original performance, ultimately underscoring the track’s commitment to authenticity.
Lyrically, “Mr. Wrong” digs deep, referencing a powerful quote from Sophia’s late grandfather about heartbreak and the complexities of perceived love. The central idea—that the person we often deem “Mr. Right” has the greatest potential to hurt us—provides a foundation for the song’s reflective tone.
In the bridge, Sophia offers a sense of hope and resilience: “So now you know better, you’ve got to be clever, just focus on your center, be ready for whatever.” This empowering moment highlights her belief in using personal growth and self-awareness to move forward, a universal sentiment that resonates across a wide range of relationships and experiences.
With over 26 million streams to her name, Sophia B is steadily establishing a reputation for both her emotive vocals and her genuine stage presence. She began writing and posting original songs online at age 14, quickly finding her footing in the local music scene and performing at notable venues like The Bitter End and The Cutting Room.
Currently studying at Berklee College of Music, Sophia continues to refine her craft, drawing on diverse influences while remaining connected to her soulful foundation. “Mr. Wrong” marks the next stage in her artistic journey, hinting at more genre-blending releases and a deepening sense of creative exploration as she heads into 2025.
