Sophie-Maude Announces New Single“Under Your Spell”
Emerging R&B/Soul-Pop artist Sophie-Maude is set to release her most vulnerable single to date, “Under Your Spell”, on November 14. The track dives deep into her personal journey with Obsessive-Compulsive Disrder (OCD), transforming lived struggle into a song of connection, hope, and empowerment.
Co-written and produced by Ben Malone, the single showcases Sophie-Maude’s signature powerhouse vocals and raw storytelling ability. Her honest approach gives listeners not only a glimpse into the reality of mental health challenges but also a reminder that light can be found in dark spaces.
“Writing this song gave me a way to process the hardest parts of living with OCD,” Sophie-Maude shares. “I hope it resonates with anyone who has ever felt out of control and reminds them that things can get better.”
In line with her commitment to making a difference, Sophie-Maude will donate all royalties from the single to help people with OCD access the Bergen 4-Day Treatment (B4DT) — an innovative therapy showing promising results for overcoming OCD.
Alongside the single’s release, Sophie-Maude’s story will be featured in a special TV segment on Attitude TV and TVNZ, where she opens up about living with OCD and her continued journey of healing.
From the moment Sophie-Maude began releasing music, it was clear she was no ordinary artist. With more than 350,000 streams across her songs, music videos featured on MTV Australia, and a #1 single on the NZ Hot New Singles Chart with “Take Me Away,” she quickly became one of Aotearoa’s brightest young voices.
But what truly sets Sophie-Maude apart is not just her sound — it’s her story. Her music blends R&B, soul, and pop with raw emotion, each lyric shaped by her lived experiences with Autism, ADHD, OCD, and Tourette’s. These layers of honesty and vulnerability breathe life into every note, transforming her songs into something far deeper than melody — they’re a reflection of resilience and truth.
