The official release of the joint project marks an important step for both artists’ legacy, who are both integral to the history and sound of global dance music.
“Recording with SOPHIE is something I hold even closer to my heart now, especially after her passing,” says Freedia via a press release. “She was an artist who showed the world that living boldly is your greatest power. With this EP, I want to show the world how loved she was and still is!”
“This collaboration was exciting to Sophie right from the start,” says SOPHIE’s family in a statement. “Freedia’s energy and vocal power, a perfect match for her production. Their connection gave us these songs, all of them Sophie loved to play out, and we can’t wait to hear them in the club again.”
Likewise, we can’t wait to hear these songs. For now, though, we’ll be playing the tracks that Big Freedia and SOPHIE penned that SOPHIE used to blast at shows, and that were captured for posterity by excited concertgoers..
