Remi Wolf has announced her sophomore album, Big Ideas. The follow-up to 2021’s Juno is due to arrive on July 12 via Island/EMI. Along with the news, Wolf has shared a new single, ‘Cinderella’, alongside a video she co-directed with Ragan Henderson. The clip features a cameo from Mac DeMarco, who plays an ice cream man. Watch and listen below.
“‘Cinderella’ is a lyrical collage of the ups and downs and mood swings and transient lifestyle I was experiencing while writing this album,” Wolf said in a statement. “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,” she added. “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.””
