Squeeze Me

Description

With Squeeze Me, Sophia Kennedy distills a disillusioned and magnetic psych pop. Sophia Kennedy, an artist born in Baltimore and based in Hamburg, returns with her new album. Known for her innovation in blending genres and her distinctive vocal style, she has collaborated with DJ Koze and earned praise from the Guardian, Iggy Pop, and Pitchfork. Her self-titled debut album (2017, Pampa Records), a radiant, glamorous dance record with electronic textures and club influences, brought her international recognition. Kennedy released her second album, Monsters (2021, City Slang), and delved deeper into surrealism and transcendence. Today, on Squeeze Me, Kennedy sketches a more disillusioned commentary on the status quo of the world at large. The complexity of interpersonal relationships, questions of power dynamics, and the quest for self-determination. More minimalist than her previous works, Squeeze Me is full of catchy pop melodies with psychedelic hues.
