Trendsetter is so excited to be working with jungle pop duo Sofi Tukker after the release of their empowering video for “Baby I’m A Queen.”

Embracing the idea of self-love and vulnerability─ as well as questioning the timeworn nickname “baby”─ the video pokes fun at stereotypical child beauty pageants, fully equipped with kids in tiaras and choreographed dancing.
Director Phillip Lopez plays on the juxtaposition of harsh beauty standards and giving kids the power to lead their lives the way they want and concludes the video with a beautifully rebellious paint war with the contestants and the band members Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern.
“Just because you are vulnerable, doesn’t mean you have to let yourself be belittled or infantilized (why is “baby” the default nickname?)” the band says of the song. “We are strong and empowered because we cry, because we desire, and because of what is chaotic about us. This song is about standing up as strong and powerful, because of that courage to share ourselves. It’s about being both a baby and a queen at the same time.”
The track comes off of the New York-based duo’s highly anticipated album Treehouse, set to drop April 13th, alongside their breakout hit “Best Friend” which was featured in the commercial unveiling the iPhone X in September of 2017.
With a strictly uplifting sound and signature style, Sofi Tukker is one to watch.
