Today, creative maverick Remi Wolf has solidified herself as this generation’s alternative pop heartthrob with the release of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Big Ideas, out now on Island Records. Listen HERE.
Big Ideas comes as Remi’s most artistically ambitious and refined project yet, defying all conventional notions and surpassing expectations of what fans have come to expect from a Remi album. The new album’s sense of refined craftsmanship is fully embodied on the focus track “Soup,” which she released earlier this week alongside a visualizer. “Soup” comes as a nostalgic 80’s synth-pop influenced power ballad, showcasing Remi’s super-star caliber songwriting.
Vibrant synth chords and a disco-esque percussion groove lay the foundation for Remi to pour out layers of her soulful vocals expressing the pain that comes with heartbreak. Remi’s reflective lyrics intertwine moments of self-realization and maturity with hints of playful delusion, as she finds herself refusing to let go of a situation that no longer exists. Earlier this year, Remi built up anticipation for her long-awaited return after releasing the first single of the record “Cinderella.” The disco-rock bop would be the first in a streak of sonically boundless releases along with “Toro,” “Alone in Miami,” and “Motorcycle,” each peeling back the curtain a bit more into Remi’s magnum opus.
