“Original Sin” is a mantra of being kind to yourself and rejecting imposed social mores. It’s a duet that parachutes you into the center of SOFI TUKKER’s world with a juggernaut rhythm and an instantly memorable hook.
The album name WET TENNIS is
an acronym,
a lifestyle and
an aesthetic.
When Everyone Tries to Evolve, Nothing Negative Is Safe.
WET TENNIS is an acronym:
WET TENNIS is about forward movement, optimism and positive growth, no matter what the challenge. Negativity will happen, but it won’t stick around for long when we fully embrace and flow through it. WET TENNIS is a dedication to constantly evolving and celebrating aliveness. WET TENNIS is a lifestyle. It says: everything’s better when wet. Wetness is excitement, the pussy, the birthplace of all creation. Wetness is mother nature, it’s movement, flow, sweat, and juice. WET TENNIS is play, and a back and forth movement. It is an approach to life as a game. It’s to be taken seriously–and not seriously at all. WET TENNIS is an aesthetic. The visuals take us to an abstract surreal tennis world set among lush nature elements and bright color gradients. It’s athletic and elegant. It’s loud and bright. It’s Sophie and Tucker.
