2025 One To Watch: Sophie Hunter

Olivia Samuelian-Hadfield

Sophie Hunter’s swagger is undeniable. From the sound of horns that open her single ‘Cha Cha’ to the ensuing beat, her music is striking with her ad libs and distinct Brooklyn accent.



The New York-based rapper's 2024 EP ‘WAIL!’ lives up to its name, combining classic 90s Rap sounds with Pop hooks that create a unique and dynamic sound. Her lively appearance of red curls and a vivid street style matches this, however the focus is undoubtedly on her conversational, catchy and clever lyrics, as seen in ‘Cha Cha’.



Lyrics like “Didn’t meet on Hinge you know I met that dog on Rover” showcase her skills with wordplay and witty references, as well as droll self-awareness shown in ‘Mic Check’, “I’ll be so cringe before I’ll ever be boring”. Already having been featured on BBC Introducing, there’s little doubt that Sophie Hunter will build a name for herself in 2025.
