"I wanted to write an album for my 15-year-old self, growing up kind of lost, but just knowing I loved music": Sophie Lloyd on the origins of her Imposter Syndrome album

.

Earlier this year, Sophie Lloyd found herself in a bar with Michael Starr. The Steel Panther frontman – one of ten guest singers on Lloyd’s hard rock debut, Imposter Syndrome – was in London to shoot a music video with her. It all started sensibly enough. Then, with the arrival of select fans and Lloyd’s rocker friends, it all got a bit Coyote Ugly. 

“We did shots with the water hose spraying the whole crowd,” she says, “the girls dancing on the bar with Michael, we had someone take body shots off Michael and everything. It all just suddenly went a bit out of control towards the last two hours. It was fun.”
