KATSEYE’s Sophia Says Her INXS Cover for ‘Forgotten Island’ Is ‘The Most Sophia Thing I Could Do’
The singer, currently on hiatus from the global girl group, was drawn to the animated film's themes of Filipino culture & friendship.
Despite temporarily stepping back from KATSEYE in August, singer Sophia Laforteza's individuality is shining through her role in DreamWorks Animation's Forgotten Island. The film, released alongside the soundtrack, features her reimagined cover of INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart." Sophia saw this opportunity as a chance to showcase her personal connection to Filipino culture, family, friendship, and celebrating women.
The emotional moment in the movie between two best friends has been enhanced by this song, making the scene resonate with themes of connection and loyalty. This release is particularly special for Sophia as it allows her to step out of the pop framework of KATSEYE and exhibit her unique sound.
