In the pool of tracks that bleeds in heartbreak, there are few records that mirror it vividly instead of just simply narrating the pain. Sophia B’s “Can’t Erase” gives you that exact same feeling, and it’s a cruel reminder that forgetting is harder than goodbye itself.

The 21-year old multi-awarded singer-songwriter Sophia B is back, collaborating with son of the late legendary guitarist Jeff Golub, Matthew Golub, latin multi-instrumentalist and composer Steven Mejia and fellow Filipino musician Jacob Singson

Can’t Erase opens with ethereal vocal harmonies from Sophia. Every stroke of the guitar has those warm, delicate notes, riding the ache from her memories that linger like smoke in the room. This isn’t just your typical late-night sad song, it breaks, burns, and overflows. The kind that mirrors the messy and fickle nature of love when it ends and forgetting isn’t nearly possible.

At its core, Can’t Erase feels like a twin flame of Olivia Rodrigo’s deja vu, sometimes quiet, sometimes loud. Sophia’s voice carries so much pain to the point where you can also feel it in your bones. And she doesn’t filter it, no attempt to make hurt feel digestible and neat. Each word reflects torment and fragility, the kind that makes your friends sigh and say, “you’re still not over it?” while the truth is, they don’t just get it.

Overall, Sophia B’s Can’t Erase is a wound that never closes, never heals, the one that begs to be forgotten but leaves you bleeding over and over again.
