Sophia Mengrosso Embraces the Heat on “Lust”
Dude you see that hood shawty you been crushing on, that her body is soo tea you can’t take your eyes off her. Then one day you get the chance to talk to her, then another it’s a date, then finally you get an invitation to her house and now you seem uncomfortable cos you lust won’t just go away, haha. Well Sophia Mengrosso doesn’t tiptoe into her latest song called “Lust”. She kicks the door open and dares you to look away. Just the way you’d for that girl you crushing on but shy at the same time. But this single feels big, bold, and a little dangerous, which is exactly the point.
Sophia who comes from an opera background, already makes her interesting. Opera singers are trained to fill huge rooms without a microphone, so now imagine her on microphone with a rock beat that feels inviting and consuming at the same time. And Instead of choosing one lane, she drives straight down the middle of rock and heavy metal and enjoys the noise. I mean who wouldn’t, you get to feel alive and entertain people even in a more different way.
This song “Lust” has something about it that makes it interesting, it feels heavy yet controlled. Which leaves it room to hit hard then pulls back just enough to let the emotion breathe. And then you’re all smiling and enjoying the chorus which is massive and dramatic, the kind that makes you want to sing along even if you are absolutely not qualified. The desire that is Soo strong that sometimes you just can’t help it, yet after satisfying it cravings, it burns faster and does not apologize. Love is not safe here. Love is a battlefield, and Sophia knows it. So are you gonna keep lusiting over that person, or you gonna take your time and actually grow to love them? Or will you just run after it’s over?
Nothing beats a soothing voice lurking and luring you into a desire soo strong and that is the secret weapon here. Sophia just understands it, it is clean, strong, and sharp when it needs to be. She can sound fierce without losing control. You can hear her training, but you can also hear the fire. It never feels stiff or overdone.
One thing you do realize is, the track has this blend of modern rock and metal without trying to reinvent the wheel. Heavy guitars drive the song forward. The rhythm stays tight. Nothing feels wasted. It knows what it wants to say and says it loudly.
Sometimes the pain that comes with longing for someone or something is crazy, and this song honesty explores such themes. Sophia has been open about how hard it is to talk about personal pain. Which sometimes we all do, but are we gonna let them eat us up? Talk them out instead of hiding it, and use them. Be fearless, even when it is uncomfortable.
If you have heard her album “Unforgiven”, this single makes sense. That record was about strength, trauma, and speaking up. “Lust” fits right into that world. It is raw emotion without soft edges. It does not ask for permission. There is also a strange kind of beauty here. The song accepts that desire can hurt and still be real. It says you can be burned and still choose the fire. That is not a neat message, but it is an honest one.
Sophia draws influence from bands like Evanescence, Nightwish, Metallica, Seether, and Halestorm, and you can hear those roots. Still, she does not sound like a copy of anyone. She sounds like someone who knows exactly who she is. The humor comes from how serious it all is. This is not background music for folding laundry. This is music for staring dramatically out a window like you are in a movie. Bonus points if it is raining.
“Lust” closes out Sophia Mengrosso’s 2025 releases with confidence. It proves she is not here to play it safe or small. She is here to be real, loud, and unapologetic. If this is where she is headed next, turning the volume down would be a mistake.
