Twin Sister Duo Companion Share Debut Single “How Could I Have Known”

Twin sisters Sophia and Jo Babb have joined creative forces as Companion, sharing their debut single and music video. Colorado based, “How Could I Have Known” showcases the pair’s crisp vocals intertwining against a backdrop of acoustic guitar, steady bass and light percussion. 

The track gives thanks to the unknown forces that bring people together, while acknowledging that those same forces may take people away. “I started writing “How Could I Have Known” at the beginning of my first autumn in northern Colorado,” explains Sophia. “I quickly learned that fall is a fleeting, beautifully short time in the mountains. It takes just a few blustery days for all the yellow aspen leaves to give way to bare trees, snowfall, and early sunsets. At the time, I was engaged to my now husband [who] was dealing with some concerning medical issues, and I developed an over-awareness of how quickly I could never see him again.” 

Examining that possibility of sudden loss under a new lens, Sophia shares that it allowed her to see “the incredible gift it is to have something to hold dear in the first place.” The rest came easily: “I showed Jo the beginnings of the song, and we finished it together in an afternoon.”

Alongside the heartwarming and honest lyrics, the accompanying music video – directed by Jo – offers a light hearted jab at the constant changes experienced through life under the lens of different partners entering and exiting the scene. You can expect to hear more from Companion in 2022.
