Sophia Rogers‘ latest single, “All But Mine,” is a striking blend of folk, alternative, and indie-rock that captures the raw emotional intensity of personal betrayal and its lasting impact.
Released amidst the buzz of an emerging independent music scene, this Dallas-born and NYC-based singer-songwriter delivers a track that resonates deeply with anyone familiar with the push and pull of frustration, longing, and self-reflection.
The genesis of “All But Mine” lies in a deeply personal experience. Sophia recounts how the song emerged from a spiral of anger and loneliness after a family betrayal left her grappling with complex emotions.
During a winter spent at her childhood home—a place once filled with warmth but now tainted by painful memories—she felt trapped in a loop of frustration and listlessness. This emotional storm served as the foundation for a song that balances cinematic production with moments of quiet introspection.
The track’s production mirrors its thematic depth. Co-produced by Sophia and Taylor Hurt, the song’s layered arrangement builds to a crescendo, reflecting the highs and lows of her emotional reckoning. It features an ebb and flow of folk-inspired melodies, driving indie-rock instrumentation, and moments of cinematic grandeur.
Hurt, also the mixing engineer and keyboardist, helped shape the song into a seamless journey, pairing its narrative with dynamic sonic textures. Guitarist Maya Harrison, bassist Warren Louie, and drummer Cole Palensky—all musicians Sophia connected with during her time in France—add further depth, bringing their Parisian jazz influences to the forefront in subtle yet impactful ways.
“All But Mine” invites listeners to lean in, whether walking home late at night, waiting for a train, or simply reflecting in solitude. The song’s lyrics encapsulate the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of frustration and fear, yet its production offers glimmers of hope and release.
As Sophia puts it, the track is for “the girlies that often feel over-emotional or a little insane,” embracing its raw vulnerability while connecting with listeners on an intimate level.
Sophia’s artistic journey has been as compelling as her music. A graduate of NYU’s vocal performance program, she’s collaborated with Taylor Hurt to fully embrace her songwriting talents.
Her time abroad in France introduced her to the talented musicians who now form her backing band, solidifying her creative circle. Since then, she has performed at notable venues such as Hotel Vegas (South by Southwest), the Granada Theatre, and Berlin Under A, steadily growing her presence in both New York and Texas.
“All But Mine” marks a significant step forward in Sophia’s artistic evolution, showcasing her ability to translate deeply personal experiences into universally resonant music.
With this release, she continues to bridge the gap between folk storytelling, indie experimentation, and cinematic production, making her an artist to watch in the contemporary music landscape. As Sophia’s journey unfolds, her commitment to authenticity and emotional depth promises even more compelling music on the horizon.
