After her song “I’ll Kill Her” - a hilarious rant of jealousy at its worst - was featured at a 2007 Stella McCartney fashion show, quirky French singer-songwriter Stéphanie Sokolinski, better known as SoKo, seemed to blow up everywhere but in North America.

The actress-turned-singer released a five-track EP entitled Not Sokute that year and toured extensively for a year and a half.

She played sold-out shows in Scandinavia, Britain, and Australia, and opened for everyone from Babyshambles to M.I.A.

But in January 2009, she surprised and confused fans when she announced on her MySpace page that she was quitting music and is “dead.”

In the same post, she wrote that she was scared of the music industry and wanted to return to her first love of acting.

And despite revealing that she had recorded a double album, she said she did not want to release it.

But this is the music industry and sometimes artists get carried away. I mean, how many times has Jay-Z “retired” anyways?

So I couldn’t help but roll my eyes a bit when she announced in August that same year that she had “reborn” and was starting to write songs again.

On one of these songs, “I’m So Ready To Be A Good Man”, she testifies that  “in my battle with the demons I just had to die coz they’re way too evil and I couldn’t fight”. Whatever SoKo, whatever.

But with this week’s announcement that SoKo will be doing a handful of shows on the East coast this fall, including an October 26th date at Toronto’s Drake Hotel, I’m hoping this signals the possibility that she will release an album in the near future.

She better, or… I’ll kill her?
