SOFI TUKKER "DANCING ON THE PEOPLE" EP OUT NOW
The Dancing On the People EP is the follow up to SOFI TUKKER’s GRAMMY nominated debut album Treehouse.
The anthemic “Fantasy” has been an audience favorite at those rapturous live shows. The lyrics and vocal delivery are intimate and introspective revealing a defiant vulnerability that speaks to how SOFI TUKKER have evolved as people and artists since their debut. Sonically, their egalitarian and global view of music has transcended borders and on "Fantasy" they have achieved an atemporal quality by collaging elements of the 90s Euro-pop classics that captivated them with their decidedly modern view of dance music.
"Playa Grande" is sung in three different languages - English, Spanish, and Portuguese, as well as a little Spanglish and Portuñol. Sophie and Li from Bomba Estéreo dance across the verses and make the chorus a mission statement, "Vamos a Bailar! Bailar! Bailar!". The music video sees SOFI TUKKER teaming up once more with Mac Boucher, the creative mind behind the "Best Friend," "Batshit," and "Fuck They" music videos. For the clip, SOFI TUKKER traveled to Costeño Beach in Santa Marta, located next to the Tayrona Park, a Natural Reserve Park in Colombia where the Andes end at the sea. It is the highest mountain in the world next to the ocean. The Tayronas (indigenous population) call the park, 'The World's Lung'. The video is an ode to the earth, specifically to the sacred land that Li from Bomba Estéreo lives on.
