Haute & Freddy Are Hosting a Carnival and You’re Invited

“It’s a ghost story dressed as a love song.” That’s how L.A.-based alt-pop duo Haute & Freddy describe their brand new single “Sophie,” out today — and honestly? That’s exactly how it feels. With feathery production, Chappell Roan-esque vocal flips, and a carousel of reverb-laced ear worm melodies, Sophie sounds like the moment you catch a glimpse of someone who used to mean everything…and then they vanish.

There’s something quietly rebellious about the way Haute & Freddy embrace joy, and in “Sophie,” it’s almost romantic. In a world that often prizes irony or detachment, “Sophie,” dares to crack, shimmer, and dance in full color. They make vulnerability look like a celebration, imploring you to let go, with a glittering spectacle of synths and unfiltered humanity.


Accompanied by a tantalizing visual from filmmaker Silken Weinberg (Ethel Cain’s Preacher’s Daughter), ‘Sophie’ continues Haute & Freddy’s reign of unhinged elegance, following their breakout “Shy Girl” and their growing fan kingdom, “The Royal Court.” Consider us joined. 

“‘Sophie’ is about that person who lingers in the corners of your mind long after they’ve vanished from your life. 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.”
