In 2022, Sofie announced her second album for Stones Throw, Harlequin, with the single “Feeling Bad Forsyth Street”.[9] The album blends Sofie's nostalgia for early aughts reality television and American mall punk subculture, with her passion for her native city Vienna's opera, ballet traditions and medieval performances.[10] For the release, she collaborated on two music videos with Eugene Kotlyarenko who directed the satirical black comedy film Spree (film).[11] Harlequin was released on 23 September 2022.[12]
