“The response to Do Or Die has been amazing, and I love seeing people react to the song,” says Lloyd on the reaction so far. “It’s so cool seeing guitarists cover the solos and videos of people having it on in their cars and stuff. It’s so awesome to see all the positive comments and it just makes me so much more excited to release the rest of the songs.”

On the video and working with Lula, the 27-year-old says: “Working with Lula was amazing, she is such a talented performer, and takes her craft so seriously and is so dedicated. We’ve become such great friends and I’m so excited to see what she’s doing next.”

“I can finally say that I have new music coming!” says Sophie. “All my music before was instrumental, so this is a very special release for me as it includes vocals, and some of the people we’ve worked with are people I used to have as posters on my wall as a kid, so it feels very full circle. It’s something that I have been working on before the first lockdown, and to be here talking about it feels amazing!”

Sophie Lloyd is one of the most prolific guitarists on the internet, a trailblazer who is redefining the concept of a “bedroom” guitarist. A talented composer and accomplished musician, Sophie graduated from the prestigious BIMM in 2018 with a First Class Honours BMus in Popular Music Performance, honing and refining a talent she has nurtured since childhood.Since then, she has amassed the kind of following that even the guitar gods she grew up idolising would be envious of, with a reach surpassing 3M followers across her social channels, built through a steady stream of sharing her talent via guitar “shredleys”, covers and her own original material.

Gone are the sparkled cowgirls and pop princesses of previous BST gigs. It’s the turn of the Baby Boomer generation to make up the core crowd of Hyde Park – a sea of grey hair, straw hats, and sensible shoes. They reapply sun cream religiously, have brought picnic blankets, and can be forgiven for taking their time getting up and down from the ground between acts. This is the generation that invented outdoor rock and folk festivals – and they’re here to show the rest of us how it’s done.
