In 2022, Sofie announced her second album for Stones Throw, Harlequin, with the single “Feeling Bad Forsyth Street”. The album blends Sofie's nostalgia for early aughts reality television and American mall punk subculture, with her passion for her native city’s Vienna opera, ballet traditions and medieval performances. For the release, she collaborated on two music videos with Eugene Kotlyarenko who directed the satirical black comedy film Spree (film). Harlequin was released on 23 September 2022. In 2022, Sofie Royer featured on Toro y Moi’s album Mahal, and has previously collaborated with other musicians including MISS WORLD, Onoe Caponoe, &ME and others.
