Electronic duo Sofi Tukker and pop rock band OneRepublic have teamed up to drop a new single. The track, titled “Tsunami” released today in the midst of Sofi Tukker’s Animal Talk Tour, complete with a visualizer. The video and track can be found on Sofi Tukker’s Youtube channel.

The visualizer is appropriately coated in blue, with a bright grainy effect to it. The track opens with a light, airy vibe to it and an overall relaxing mood. Tukker’s Sophie Hawley-Weld leads the vocals for the first half, before passing off to OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder for the second half. Both are joined by a sea of backing vocals, coming together to make a short, catchy track with an upbeat dance-like energy to it.

“It was awesome to be in the studio with a legendary song writer like Ryan,” Sofi Tukker shared in a statement regarding the collaboration. “It was so natural and it came quick and we loved it ever since. It took a bunch of different versions of it and ended up feeling timeless, musical and lush.”

The new release comes in the midst of North American tours for Sofi Tukker, with shows ongoing across the continent until October 31st. The release also marks the latest in a string of collaborations from the duo, including an ongoing rollout of custom designs made in collaboration with guitar manufacturers Gibson.

Steven Taylor: Hello, I'm Steven! I'm a graduate of Seton Hall University. I majored in journalism, with a minor in Public Relations. I've always had a passion for the arts and creative fields. Writing especially is an area I've always found myself gravitating towards, between assignments in class, working for the school newspaper or just writing in my spare time. I love providing and hearing new perspectives. In addition to my studies and work in writing, I work part-time at after-school and summer programs for my local elementary school. I've been a part of these programs since I was in high school, and I've even been assigned to work one-to-one with children with special needs. I like to think that if I'm able to communicate well with children in the 2nd grade, then I can communicate well with most adults too!
