Sofia Kourtesis returns with new single, ‘Madres’, on Ninja Tune: Listen

Sofia Kourtesis has shared her first new music in over a year.

The new single, ‘Madres’, builds on the electronic and pop elements of her past work and is out now on Ninja Tune. You can listen to it below.

Speaking about the track in a statement, Kourtesis said: “This song is about my mother, her mother, my sisters who are mothers, my brothers who are mothers, and all the LGBTQIA+ members who are mothers to their communities. Madres has no gender. Madres loves to protect the ones you love.

“If you get lost, follow your mother’s voice, they will always bring you back. I also want to dedicate this song to Peter Vajkoczy, a brain surgeon who has become the hope of my own mother! He gives people hope by doing the most complicated surgeries in the world; he believes in miracles, love, and the strength to protect loved ones. Life goes by quickly. Life is fragile.”

‘Madres’ follows on from the standalone single ‘Estación Esperanza’, which came out on Ninja Tune in January 2022.
