City of the Sun – “Intro” (The xx Cover) | Sofar NYC, 2014
One of the most beloved performances in Sofar history (based on the comment section alone), City of the Sun’s luscious cover of “Intro” by The xx turns 10-years-old in just a couple months.
It’s a head-banging masterpiece that got everyone stomping their feet. Watching it even now, you can almost feel the music trying to grab you and pull you into your screen.
This performance exemplifies that tingle that live music can give us. There’s a reason it has nearly 10 million views.
Yebba – “My Mind” | Sofar NYC, 2016
Utterly captivating from beginning to end, Yebba’s “My Mind” is a soulful tale of betrayal and heartbreak. It’s no surprise that this performance has picked up nearly 27 million views, with Yebba’s commanding presence and control over her incredible voice.
Did the crowd there know that they were witnessing Sofar history?
Fun fact: this performance was so iconic that several people in the comments section requested the song’s official release, so we partnered with Yebba to put it out into the world for all to hear. Relive the moment here:
Andreya Triana – “That’s Alright With Me” | Sofar London, 2015
Keeping the stripped down, guitarist and singer vibe, we’re highlighting Andreya Triana’s “That’s Alright With Me”, performed at Sofar London in 2015. It’s an entrancing ode to the power of love, complete with Triana’s stunning voice and dynamic stage presence.
We love this video for its pure joy. You can just tell the crowd loved every moment.
