Remi Wolf has announced her highly anticipated new album, Big Ideas, set to be released courtesy of Island Records on July 12.
To commemorate her return, Remi has released the first musical offering off her upcoming album with the disco-pop track, “Cinderella.”
Regarding the song, Remi said: “‘Cinderella’ is a lyrical collage of the ups and downs and mood swings and transient lifestyle I was experiencing while writing this album. Constant travel and rapid changes led me to feel such a rollercoaster of emotion- moving from feeling really insecure to feeling really good to feeling manic and depressed and then feeling OK again, while desperately craving a grounding figure to tell me I was doing a good job.
“So, this song was me stepping in as my own fairy godmother telling myself that I was in control. Sonically, I wanted the song to have a sense of 70s nostalgia while still feeling like a record made today. And I wanted to make something where you can’t help but dance and move and feel good while listening. I recorded this at Electric Lady in New York at the beginning of 2023. I initially made the song with just myself and Solomonophonic – and then I was able to bring in some amazing horns players to round out the sauce.”
Co-directed by Ragan Henderson and Remi herself, the video features Wolf, alongside backup dancers and band ensemble, heading for a field day at the park. The video’s boisterous choreography is highlighted by Mac Demarco, who makes a cameo as the local ice cream man who isn’t particularly great at his job.
This Spring, Wolf will head out on tour with Olivia Rodrigo on her European leg of the The GUTS World Tour, playing venues like The O2 in London and Accor Arena in Paris.
