Guitar shredder Sophie Lloyd has unleashed her collaboration with Halestorm vocalist Lzzy Hale, ‘Imposter Syndrome.’

The title track to Sophie Lloyd’s upcoming debut album, ‘Imposter Syndrome’ follows previous singles ‘ ‘Runaway’ (feat. Steel Panther's Michael Starr), ‘Fall Of Man’ (feat. Trivium's Matthew K. Heafy), ‘Lost’ (feat. Cole Rolland), ‘Hanging On’ (feat. Lauren Babic) and the Planet Rock playlisted Do Or Die’ with Nathan James.

Enthusing about joining musical forces with Lzzy Hale, Sophie Lloyd says: “Working with Lzzy was honestly a dream come true for me.

“I’ve been a fan of hers for years growing up, and when I decided to do a collaborative album, her name was the first one that came to mind. She did such an incredible job at taking such a personal thing and making a song that conveys all the emotion I have felt for years.”

She adds: “Musically, this song takes a different direction to others on the album, it has a more ballad feel to it, while still being epic and powerful.

“Jason Soudah composed orchestral strings for this song as well, which really captured the emotion we wanted to convey.”

“It was so healing to work with Lzzy on this song and has really helped me overcome my own imposter syndrome and I hope others will be able to relate to it and know they are not alone and they can overcome anything.”

Lzzy Hale says: “I’ve been garnering inspiration from Sophie Lloyd for years! When Sophie asked me to put lyric and song to her amazing instrumental work we talked in depth about how this album has been a tool in helping her overcome her feelings of otherness.

“It was like thumbing through her diary and also like staring at myself in the mirror. I hope that this song will give strength to anyone who needs it. It was an honour to draw my weapons and with such a talented and stunning soul!”
