SoKo, an actress and singer whose real name is Stéphanie Sokolinski, is one of those discoveries we owe to Myspace, the social network. At barely 22, she’s a genuine French revelation who is already successful outside France begining with Denmark that adopted her from the start, Australia and Japan.
Even the very influential Nic Harcourt’s KCRW gave way to her pretty little face. She has this voice with this little sweet and smooth French accent, between Kate Nash and Maria Mena, a pop folk style marked with its musical references (among whom Daniel Johnson) but above all an unique style which talks about unhappy love affairs which is intended for every girls.
In this way, her highly influencal song “I’ll Kill Her” (a sufficiently explicit title) ends up number 1 among the top sellers in Belgium on iTunes last January. And to think that SoKo isn’t signed to any label yet, she only owns a nice 5 track EP “Not SoKute”. But it won’t be long considering her talent and the fact she’s surrounded by a strong French management.
