We made “Forgive Me” with one of our all-time favorite artists Mahmut Orhan and we got to go to Istanbul to film the video, which was a truly life changing experience. This song means a lot to us. It’s one of the most personal we’ve ever written and it’s what making music is all about… transforming a challenging life experience and alchemizing it into something we can dance to and connect with others on... ‒SOFI TUKKER
The “Forgive Me” video is one of SOFI TUKKER”s most ambitious and visually striking to date. Filmed on location at Evcik Beach and Kilyos Beach in Istanbul, it 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.
SOFI TUKKER’s WET TENNIS era has begun! Following last month’s release of the “Original Sin” video and announcement that WET TENNIS, the anticipated follow up to their GRAMMY nominated debut album Treehouse, will be released on April 29th, the group has revealed the cover art and tracklist and is sharing ”Forgive Me”, one of the album’s meditations on resilience, radical self-acceptance, and joy. True to the global scope of SOFI TUKKER’s creativity, the single is a collaboration with Turkish producer Mahmut Orhan whose string arrangement on the song draws inspiration from traditional Turkish music.
