Ahead of their much anticipated North American tour this Autumn, which includes a number of festival performances at ACL and Life Is Beautiful. Fast rising indie dance duo Sofi Tukker share the very fun music video featuring esteemed Brazilian LGBTQ pop icon and guest vocalist Pabllo Vittar, ‘Energia (Parte 2)’.
Pabllo Vittar is a household name in her native Brazil, having racked up a string of Top 10 singles and sold out arenas before her Major Lazer collaboration “Sua Cara” brought her international recognition. She has amassed over 1.5 billion YouTube views and 390 million Spotify streams. While her 2017 album ‘Vai Passar Mal’ further distinguished her as a soaring vocalist and advocate.
And this latest collaboration has been very much anticipated globally online since Sofi Tukker premiered it at Lollapalooza Brazil earlier this year. The first taste of the track was the highest amount of engagement the band has ever received on Twitter.
Now, the official music video for the track has been released. The clip was filmed in Lisbon, Portugal, and was directed by Scheme Engine, who has previously created music videos for the likes of Harry Styles, Future, Charlie Puth, Doja Cat and many more. The clip shows Tucker Halpern and Sophie Hawley-Weld with Pabllo Vittar dressed to the nines, vogue-ing their way through town.
Like their debut releases “Drinkee” and “Matadora,” “Energia” is a collaboration with the Brazilian poet, Chacal. The words are an invocation of joy and a plea to the universe, “Give me energy!”
