Google doodle pays tribute to SOPHIE on her birthday
Today would have been the Scottish artist's 38th birthday
Google has paid tribute to SOPHIE today, on what would have been her 38th birthday.
The search engine’s logo features an illustration of the late electronic music pioneer worked in, with the letters stylised in a wonky SOPHIE-esque font.
Clicking the logo then plays a 55 second-long animated tribute to SOPHIE set to the soundtrack of her 2018 track 'Immaterial'.
The description notes: "Today’s Doodle celebrates the 38th birthday of Scottish musician, producer, and DJ Sophie Xeon (SOPHIE), who is remembered for her acclaimed experimental pop and electronic music."
A posthumous album from SOPHIE is due to land at the end of this month, on September 27, via Future Classic and Transgressive.
According to a press statement from SOPHIE's family, the record had been "close to completion" before she died and has been "lovingly finalised" by friends and family.
A number of tracks have been released from the record already, including 'Reason Why' featuring Kim Petras and BC Kingdom, 'One More Time', 'Exhilrate' (feat. Bibi Bourelly), and 'Berlin Nightmare', which features Evita Manji.
