L.A.-based alt-pop duo Haute & Freddy have revealed their much-anticipated new single, “Sophie,” out now HERE. The track is accompanied by an official visualizer created by acclaimed filmmaker and photographer Silken Weinberg (known for her work on Ethel Cain’s *Preacher’s Daughter *and *Perverts), *premiering today on YouTube HERE.*‍*

> “‘Sophie’ is about that person who lingers in the corners of your mind long after they’ve vanished from your life,” say Haute & Freddy. “You’re back in your hometown, sitting at the bar, and suddenly haunted by the idea they might walk through the door. You see them on a busy street – until you don’t. It’s a ghost story dressed as a love song, a fleeting glance at what could’ve been.”

Co-produced by Haute & Freddy alongside Bergen-based producer Askjell (Sigrid, Aurora, iris), “Sophie” follows their latest single “Shy Girl,” which has amassed over 2.4 million global streams following the official video’s exclusive premiere on V Magazine, who praised the song as a call to “*move to the beat of their own synthpop drum*” with visuals “*rife with ornate birdcages and references to underground club culture of centuries past*.”

Recently named by ROLLING STONE as an “*Artist You Need To Know,*” praising their “*baroque, 18 th -century-inspired fashion and Eighties-synth sound,*” Haute & Freddy will celebrate “Sophie” – and new music on the horizon – with live performances at Portola (San Francisco, Sept 21), Austin City Limits (Austin, Oct 5) and Corona Capital (Mexico City, Nov 15). These dates follow their sold-out New York City live debut at The Slipper Room and a show-stealing set at Electric Forest (Rothbury, MI). Additional headline shows, festival appearances, and international dates will be announced soon.

The dazzling duo of Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp have sparked a devoted fanbase – known as “The Royal Court” – with their spectacular, daring, and utterly unpredictable alt-pop. Their deep love for theater, obscure synths, and underground club culture infuses every track with audacious energy. Like runaway carnies crashing polite society’s veneer, Haute & Freddy channel the flair of an 18th-century escapade. Fans flock to their shows crafting jester hats, while balloon-twisting mimes crown the Royal Court in joyous rebellion.

Since their debut single “Scantily Clad,” which PAPER lauded as “*an outsider’s fantasy that reads like a dream sequence,” *Haute & Freddy have continued to enthrall with fan favorites including “Anti-Superstar“ and “Fashion Over Function.” With “Shy Girl” and now “Sophie,” the duo’s momentum continues to surge, promising more high drama, innovative shows, and unforgettable visuals ahead.
