SOFI TUKKER have taken over the world with their intoxicatingly glossy mixture of striking electropop with global influences that always takes dazzling and unexpected turns, leaving the listener on the edge of their seat if not lifting them off of it. Their new album WET TENNIS, the follow up to their twice GRAMMY nominated debut, is out now via Ultra/Sony Music. The album is a celebration of self-empowerment, owning your right to pleasure, and liberating yourself from outside constraints. The title itself is an acronym: When Everyone Tries to Evolve, Nothing Negative Is Safe. It’s about leaving behind lesser fears and vices in favor of pursuing joy. The album's focus single “Summer in New York" is a guided tour across SOFI TUKKER's NYC, and marks a full circle moment for the pair as they return to live in the city after spending the past few years in West Palm Beach. Above all, it’s a dedication to their city: the birthplace of SOFI TUKKER, the home that welcomed them straight out of college, and provided inspiration for their earliest work. Sophie’s beloved Miss Favela in Brooklyn where Brazilian music and food reign, Bang Bang tattoos where Tucker gets his ink done, The Knocks’ Chrystie St studio where “Drinkee” was made, The Box, and much more. The song weaves in the hook from an NYC classic, Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” to connect all that is exciting about the city past and present. In a moment of collective consciousness, a cover of “Tom’s Diner” is also currently a sensation on TikTok, bringing the song to a new generation of dream chasers along with “Summer in New York."
