piri & tommy Releases New Song “updown”
British pop duo piri & tommy, consisting of Sophie McBurnie and Thomas Villiers, released a new song “updown” on February 17, 2023.
The song follows up the collaborative song “Feel It” with MJ Cole, which was released back in January.
Also, it is their first own music since the 2022 "unlock it" and the debut mixtape “froge.mp3”.
The track was written and produced by Thomas Villiers and Sophie McBurnie.
The duo shared on social media, “so so very excited to bring u our first sexy song LOL!!! and a venture into a new style of hyperpoppy dance music for us!!!!! we so lucky to have fans that can vibe with us no matter what style of tune we drop, we're building up to getting pop donk on radio 1 just u wait.”- Last year, the duo broke through in the UK dance scene with debut mixtape “froge.mp3” including smash hit "on & on".
They told DIY Magazine about their music, “Overseas in America, the new youth - like Gen Z and younger - haven't really heard much drum'n'bass or all these old school UK sounds. With the pop songwriting as well a dreamy vocal, it makes it a lot more accessible to a lot of people rather than just instrumental dance music, which is a little bit more niche. [Our sound] marries these two really popular things in a cool way, I guess. Also we just try and make good songs, that's always the goal.” -
