This next piece of music began as a case of mistaken identity. My first thought was this was the legendary variety entertainer Sophie Tucker only to find that it was an American musical duo based in New York consisting of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern. Their song “Drinkee” from the Soft Animals EP was nominated for a 2017 Grammy for Best Dance Recording. I find her guitar playing on this track particularly memorable.
However it was their dance classic, the curiously named AWOO featuring Betta Lemme, that was my first exposure to their music – so as it is Friday I am providing you with a double header.
