Sophia Ricci - Just Walk Away
Pop, R&B, Soul
Tbilisi, Georgia
Overall Impression: A haunting, beautiful, sexy, sultry, and moving piece. Sophia Ricci’s “Just Walk Away” takes you on a musical journey with a mixture of genres, emotion, and her stellar vocal tone, range, and ability at a young age. Ricci combines a pop and R&B sound to complement her vocal tone and texture while using elements of jazz for that sexy, sultry feel to the song and some Spanish guitar elements that give the song some pop.
Strongest Point(s): Sophia Ricci’s vocal tone and range are deep and rich with texture and her runs and variation in her voice are evident throughout the song and much like its arrangement. The arrangement complements her voice and the highs and lows the song experiences as it navigates through various emotions Ricci conveys throughout the song. From a slow buildup both instrumentally and vocally the song hit’s a crescendo by the second pre-chorus.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Pop, R&B, Jazz, or Soul music.
Artist target suggestions: Bishop Briggs, Roberta Flack, Chaka Khan, Sapphire, Zayn, Jordin Sparks, Lorde, Fifth Harmony, Christina Grimmie, Ciara, Monica, Seal, Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Rowland, Nicole Scherzinger.
