SOFI TUKKER have shared Felix Jaehn’s remix of “Original Sin”, an unforgettable ode
to loving yourself and rejecting imposed social mores from their forthcoming album WET
TENNIS (out April 29th). Like SOFI TUKKER, Felix’s global influences and inclusive vision
has seen his music resonate across the world, topping the charts in multiple countries and
becoming the youngest artist with two diamond certifications. Felix puts a spotlight on the
song’s tropical elements, building a new jubilant rhythm under Sophie and Tucker’s vocals that
turns up the cathartic release of the original.

The group shares, “Felix Jaehn’s remix of Original Sin is a vibe. It feels ef ortless, like it’s not
trying too hard and we love it.“
“I fell in love with ‘Original Sin’ at first listen and I’m grateful for the opportunity to give this
melancholic summer anthem my own twist” adds Felix Jaehn.
SOFI TUKKER will also release an “Original Sin” remix by NYC’S Crush Club on March 25th.
SOFI TUKKER recently shared the video for “Original Sin” which is steeped in playful eroticism
and introduces the joyful and seductive iconography of WET TENNIS. In true SOFI TUKKER
fashion, they decamped to a tropical location radiating lush greens and sunlight and realized the
video in Oahu, Hawaii with director Aerin Moreno and creative direction by Amber
Park (Camila Cabello, Madison Beer). They wear custom WET TENNIS outfits designed
by Johnny Wujek (Katy Perry, HBO’s Legendary) in the video’s very metaphorical and
ecstatic tennis match.
Earlier this month SOFI TUKKER revealed the cover art and tracklist for WET TENNIS with the
release of the haunting ”Forgive Me” and its epic video with dazzling cinematography, styling,
and choreography. Read People Magazine’s premiere feature for the video here. The
track is one of the album’s meditations on resilience, radical self-acceptance, and joy. “Forgive
Me” is a collaboration with Turkish producer Mahmut Orhan whose string arrangement on
the song draws inspiration from traditional Turkish music. The video was filmed on location at
Evcik Beach and Kilyos Beach in Istanbul and takes us from the confinement of a white box
room to the country’s seaside cliffs in a speeding car. Choreographer Tanem Işık, a sixteen
year old phenom from Istanbul, created the modern dance piece in the video where she plays
Sophie’s double in a battle that depicts Sophie’s battle with negative impulses that get away from
her. A group of modern road warriors in surreal gear, including Tucker and Mahmut, race to her
side and cast a circle around her as she reconciles with her darker self. The cast wears
emerging Turkish fashion designers from NEW GEN.

Following a transcendent headline set at CRSSD festival this month and their show at Belly Up
Aspen which raised $19,560 for Red Cross Ukraine, the group have announced additional dates

along with the previously announced North American dates. Due to high demand, they have
added shows in sold out US markets. All dates are on sale now and the full tour is

SOFI TUKKER have achieved gold and platinum records in every continent other than
Antarctica and their global audience began to coalesce around the streams, eventually creating a
community that dubbed itself the Freak Fam. Along with activities related to the group, Freak
Fam have helped each other during this difficult time in both emotional and material ways.
When many members of Freak Fam had their prom canceled and were missing the big
moments in their lives, SOFI TUKKER held a virtual prom and encouraged everyone attending
to wear their freakiest wares. More recently, the Freak Fam has taken the form of a bi-weekly
SiriusXM radio show, Freak Fam Radio, on Diplo’s Revolution Channel 52 that airs
every other Wednesday at 10 PM ET/ 7 PM PT.
