Grammy nominated duo SOFI TUKKER drop their new track, “Hey Homie,” featuring a softer side with the bossa nova and drum & bass inspired earworm. Each half of SOFI TUKKER – Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern – bring their unique musical influences to the table resulting in their own distinct and deeply satisfying sound. The light and airy “Hey Homie” exemplifies their musical fusion, encapsulating their bond as friends and collaborators. In a press statement, the band shares:
“’Hey Homie’ is one of our favorite songs on the album. It represents both of us in that Soph has always wanted to make bossa nova and Tuck has always wanted to make drum and bass, and we managed to do both with this one.
“It’s about the kind of love that is never ‘realized’ and it never necessarily becomes romantic. Not many songs are written about this type of relationship, and yet it’s super universal. It’s bittersweet and beautiful.”
I love the low-key, lean back, and smile vibe of the track and video. And I hope everyone has that special “homie” you feel this comfortable with.
Hey homie Let me love u lowkey It’s just a little love But it’s something holy
“Hey Homie” was not written about each other, but the band uses the music video as a vehicle to pay tribute to their friendship. “It’s such a unique friendship–we love each other lowkey like homies, it’s special even though it’s not romantic,” they explain. “We wanted to celebrate the love between friends that will always have an enduring bond. We hope it feels like a warm hug while you’re dancing.” Related: New Music – SOFI TUKKER “Forgive Me” Look for their upcoming new studio album BREAD scheduled for release on August 23.
