Sofia Sampaio Is Better Off Bored

Rising alternative artist Sofia Sampaio has officially released her highly anticipated debut single, Better Off Bored, available now on all major streaming platforms. A striking entrance from the 21-year-old alternative singer-songwriter blending Brazilian roots with 90s rock grit. Those who are fans of artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Clairo will love this.

Drawing from the emotional edge of 90s rock and the smooth rhythmic undertones of her Brazilian heritage, Better Off Bored is a dreamy, melancholic indie-pop track that introduces Sofia’s signature blend of ambient textures and raw vulnerability. The song dives into the complexities of emotional detachment and the seductive danger of obsession, capturing the bittersweet comfort found in solitude.

Born in Brazil and raised in Texas, Sofia Sampaio began songwriting at just seven years old. After teaching herself guitar at 17, she moved to London and studied at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, solidifying her path as a dedicated musician. Now based in Houston and enrolled in Berklee Online’s songwriting and production program, Sofia’s global perspective and introspective lyricism shine through in every note.

Better Off Bored marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for the young artist, who is already gaining attention for her haunting melodies and poetic voice. For fans of indie, alternative, and emotionally charged pop music, this is a debut worth hearing.
