Sophie Koh has captivated me with “I Understand,” the second single lifted from her forthcoming album Oh My Garden.
So many songs have been written about break-ups, but few are quite as searing as this one. There are no hysterics or desperate pleas, simply a resignation and sadness for love lost. Ben Lee and Brad Wood helped Sophie pen the track that she calls “one of the most personal songs” she’s ever written.
I remember catching Sophie Koh supporting Howie Day a few years ago. Her name stuck with me, and I’m thrilled to see the way she’s maturing as an artist. This song is stellar. She’ll launch it for her hometown fans in Melbourne at The Toff in Town on May 31.

You’re spot on with your review Lauren! This is a great new song from Sophie. Her voice is amazing on this track – full of emotion. If this is an indication of things to come for her, I look forward to buying her new album Oh My Garden!
