Sophia Kennedy ignites with new single ‘Hot Match’
Sophia Kennedy has unveiled her latest single ‘Hot Match,’ a fiery precursor to her forthcoming album, offering fans a thrilling taste of what’s to come.
The track, driven by a relentless motorik beat, carries an air of menace that echoes Kennedy’s bold ‘Orange Tic Tac’ persona. In its accompanying video, viewers peer into her creative workshop where tension simmers and smoke rises, suggesting a scenario teetering on the edge of chaos. ‘Hot Match’ blends a sense of unease with bursts of absurdity, showcasing Kennedy’s knack for fusing contrasting emotions into a compelling sonic experience. This single marks a shift, leaning into a raw, rock’n’roll energy while retaining her signature experimental edge, swapping guitars for the squeal of car tires.
Sophia Kennedy describes it succinctly:
“‘Hot Match’ is my first rock’n’roll song. But instead of guitars, I used squealing car tyres, all carried by a stoic motorik beat. It shifts between an underlying sense of paranoia and absurd slapstick. You don’t have to understand it, you just have to feel it.”
Available now to stream or watch, ‘Hot Match’ is a bold statement, and with its release, Kennedy sets the stage for an exciting chapter.
