Songs of the Desert is one of Christopher Sopher’s first full concept albums, a sweeping 18-track journey through his life and artistic evolution, brought to life through Emily’s vocals.
Whispers of the Vortex, Sedona, Arizona, is one of Sopher’s most personal poems, originally written in April 2023. He plans to release it as a picture-poetry book, pairing his words with his own photography.
What’s Next for Chris:
➜ Whispers of the Vortex
A cinematic photographic (not finished) series captured in Sedona, Arizona. Online release coming first, followed by a limited-edition photo book for publication based on audience demand.
➜ Songs of the Desert – Vinyl Double Album
A full vinyl double-album graphic design release for the Phoenix market. Each copy will feature a hand-signed autograph, individually numbered limited run, and exclusive liner notes.
➜ Awaken Soul Watchers — New Album: The Hotel Déjà Vu
The Hotel Déjà Vu is a concept album that unfolds like a film you swear you’ve seen before but can’t quite place. Set inside a liminal hotel where time bends and memory loops, each track feels like stepping into a room charged with intimacy, dreams, desire, and awakening. The album moves through moments of stillness, erotic surrender, astral vision, and spiritual interruption, blurring the line between what is imagined and what is real. This is not a collection of songs meant to be skimmed, but a place meant to be entered, where love softens the ego, déjà vu reveals hidden truth, and the night eventually calls you awake for a reason.

Unfinished Tracks:
Track 6. Wet Dream
Unapologetically sensual. Sexual energy. Imagery without shame. At the very end, a whispered male voice appears, leading directly into Track 7.
Track 7. Meet Me in Montreal
The perfect lover. A romantic escape. A city that feels like a memory you never lived, but somehow remember.
Track 8. The Loving Wizard (Astral Projection)
A guide appears. Not to dominate. To reveal. He shows you your soul.
Track 9. Wake Up, It’s 3:00 AM
God is calling. Not gently. Not later. Now. You have work to do.
➜ Online Vinyl Launch
A dedicated online storefront for purchasing the Songs of the Desert vinyl record, expanding access beyond the local release, updated weekly on my progress as an indie songwriter, doing everything on my own, because as an artist, I do the artwork, graphic design, and marketing.
