Sophie Li makes a bold comeback with a new chapter as an independent solo artist in 2025, and this is the proof as he serves the enthralling single, “Magnets.” Courtesy of her hugely appealing, dreamy charm and lyrics that feel both raw and evocative, the songstress gives us a track that straddles the lines of indie rock, alternative, and indie pop, and can only really be described as one vowel.
“Magnets” is gripping, thanks to its magnetism, precisely capturing the joy of being tempted and the appeal of a forbidden love affair. The song’s dynamic instrumentation, pulsing guitars, driving rhythms, and airy melodic flourishes reflect the exhilaration of pursuing something undeniable. It’s one of those songs that makes you feel like you’re in a movie, whether you’re lying in a field and watching the stars on a clear night, or driving down a sun-soaked highway with all of your windows down while the wind whips through your hair.
Li’s vocals slip into a fragile intensity, inviting you into the stories she’s telling, but with a sharp edge that keeps the energy taut and alive. The production glosses just a shimmer of polish over the indie authenticity, enough to make the track accessible, yet deeply personal.
Sophie Li has resurfaced with a revitalized creative agenda, but also the skill and conviction to make music that feels as emotionally resonant as it does catchy. Both fans of indie rock and alternative pop will be caught in its pull, ultimately finding a song that’s as memorable as it is irresistible. “Magnets“ establishes that Sophie Li’s odyssey as an independent artist is only just kicking off, and the draw is irresistible.
