SOFI TUKKER Chats Fun ‘BREAD’ Album, Working With Heidi Klum, Kygo & More | Billboard News

SOFI TUKKER’s exciting new album, ‘BREAD,’ is set to release this Friday. The duo discusses how embracing sexuality was the main inspiration for the album, the Brazilian influence on their latest work, their collaboration with Heidi Klum, and their upcoming tour sets with Kygo and J Balvin, and more!

Katie Bain:

We are here with SOFI TUKKER. Guys, welcome to the studio. Thank you for coming in. I’m really excited about your new album. I think it’s fantastic. I think it’s fun and it’s playful and it’s sexy and it’s sophisticated, and it’s many things. And I’m wondering when you guys knew that it was time to get back into the studio after the last one that came out in 2022.

SOFI TUKKER:

The truth is, we never stopped going into the studio. So we’re just always baking things, and like for instance, “Woof,” which is one of the songs on ‘BREAD,’ we made before we even finished the last album, ‘Wet Tennis,’ and we just couldn’t figure out, couldn’t figure out, couldn’t figure out. It had so many different versions of the song. And then finally, we got it right for this album. We’re kind of always in the studio, always making things, and then once we feel like the songs are telling a story, or the songs are like, Oh, wait, there’s something cohesive here that feels like they need to belong together. Then we make the album.

What story do you feel like you landed on? And what story does this album tell?

I think this album tells like a return to who we are when we started. Like when we started I had just finished playing basketball. We were in college. Sophie was a jazz musician, playing mostly Brazilian music. I was into house music, playing house parties.
