Sophie Crosby explores the changing seasons of female friendships with Miss Unavailable
“Better make it an 8-day week, for Miss Unavailable”. Sydney-based singer-songwriter Sophie Crosby explores the complexities of female friendship, unfulfilled promises and learning to trust genuine connection again in her new single, Miss Unavailable, out Friday November 20.
At her core, Sophie Crosby is a storyteller. With a sound that brings the soulful charm of Olivia Dean to the Country scene (cowboy hat and all), Sophie pairs sharp songwriting with a warm, groove-driven sound that feels as familiar as a conversation with an old friend.
Written after a classic episode of being stood-up by a flaky friend, Miss Unavailable looks at the gradual disintegration of a friendship as both women enter serious relationships. As promises and regular plans slowly fade into memory, you’re left with confusion over a platonic bond you thought would go the distance.
“The song came together as I was becoming more cautious about trusting new female friendships and questioning whether the connection is genuine.”
Musically, the song brings together funky guitars and classic Country tones, creating a sound that's equal parts soulful and rootsy. Groovy drums hit hard as the choruses kick in, while a gospel-style organ adds warmth and depth beneath Sophie's trademark soothing vocals.
“The title ‘Miss Unavailable’ references a label for a group of female friendships I formed while making a conscious effort to build deeper connections with women.”
Miss Unavailable marks Sophie's first release of 2026, following her 2025 singles Until Then and Called You Beautiful. The last 12 months have seen her steadily carving out a place in Australia's live music scene. She's shared stages with acclaimed artists including Rod Coote, Heath Lancaster, and Jack and Georgie, while also performing at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and Tocal Fields Festival.
With Miss Unavailable, Sophie Crosby delivers a fresh take on the complexities of connection, pairing relatable storytelling with soulful Country influences and an irresistible Funk groove. It's a promising first release of the year from an artist with plenty more stories to tell in 2027.
Get to know Sophie Crosby with her new single Miss Unavailable, available on all streaming platforms Friday November 20.
