Listen: Sophia Anne Caruso Releases New Single 'Higher State' With Sky Lakota-Lynch

Sophia Anne Caruso has releaseed her new single 'Higher State,' the first single from her debut full-length album, ON ECSTATIC, arriving September 18. Listen now!

A soaring electronic love song, 'Higher State' marks the beginning of a bold new creative chapter for Caruso, pairing euphoric electronic production with intimate lyricism. Written by Caruso and featuring vocals from her partner and collaborator Sky Lakota-Lynch, the track reflects on love as a transformative and unifying force and the courage to move beyond the illusion of aloneness. It sets the tone for an album that explores hope, memory, interconnectedness, and what it means to choose one another in an increasingly fragmented world.

Inspired by the freedom and catharsis of ecstatic dance, ON ECSTATIC blends hyperpop's adventurous sonic palette with deeply personal, songwriter-driven storytelling. Rather than simply embracing the genre's sonic language, Caruso brings a narrative-driven perspective to hyperpop, crafting a debut that is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically expansive.

Already celebrated as one of her generation's most compelling performers, Caruso captivated audiences by originating the role of Lydia Deetz in Broadway's Beetlejuice before starring in Netflix's The School for Good and Evil alongside Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron. With ON ECSTATIC, Caruso reveals an entirely new dimension of her artistry, stepping fully into her identity as a musician and songwriter.
