The Grammy-nominated duo Sofi Tukker, which is comprised of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, have teamed up with The Knocks on their collaborative new track, “One On One.” The 80’s-inspired pop, dance anthem features a compellingly memorable melody and a funky filled periodic bassline that urges movement and dance.
“One On One” was co-written by Sofi Tukker and The Knocks, along with Martina Sorbara Adam Pallin and Tino Schmidt, and was produced by The Knocks and 1-900, with additional production by Sofi Tukker.
The spirited and spunky new music video for “One On One,” directed by Gina Gizella Manning features Sofi Tukker and The Knocks, beside an immersive ensemble Bob’s Dance Shop, who are a staple of Sofi Tukker’s live sets. The disco enthused video is a throwback to a sense of freeness captured by the bountiful spirit of the track while uplifting the frenzied sparkler tune with colorful and flashy themes.
“One On One” is the third collaboration between Sofi Tukker and The Knocks. They previously joined forces on the infectious track “Brazilian Soul” and the massive single “Best Friend” which has racked up 125 million streams on Spotify.
Speaking about “One On One,” the duo commented, “First ‘Best Friend,’ then ‘Brazilian Soul,’ now ‘One On One’…we love making music with our friends. The Knocks are literally one of the reasons we are even a band and it feels so good every time we work together. Being in the studio together again just felt like friends goofing off. It was fun to play a sort of disco-character on this one, which we’ve never really done before. It’s a sexy, bouncy song ultimately about …desire – we just love it and can’t stop dancing to it.”
