Sophie B. Hawkins shines again on the new version of “Right Beside You”

90s star Sophie B. Hawkins is back with a reimagined version of her classic 1994 Whaler called Whaler Re-Emerging album that drops next month. Now a whole new generation of listeners can ride the rivers of rhythm in the remake of her classic โ€œRight Beside Youโ€.

โ€œWe recorded the album in two days with Andrew Oedel at Ghost Hit Recording in Massachusetts,โ€ says Hawkins. โ€œMy voice is as raw as raw can be, no tuning or corrections, and I think the raw and unfiltered me is the best me.โ€

Hawkinsโ€™ 1993 smash โ€œDamn, I Wish I Was Your Loverโ€ has been streamed more than 56 million times around the world including by new Gen Z fans. After topping the charts, Sophie launched an acting career โ€“ and was hailed for portraying Janis Joplin in the touring production of Room 105.

The music icon will soon headline an 11-date tour in Canada.
