Remi Wolf has cemented her status as a trailblazer in alternative pop with her sophomore album, ‘Big Ideas, released via Island Records. The album, available now, represents a bold step forward, showcasing Wolf’s artistic growth and willingness to defy conventions.

‘Big Ideas’ is a testament to Wolf’s refined craftsmanship, exemplified by the focus track “Soup.” This 80s synth-pop influenced power ballad, released earlier this week with an accompanying visualizer, highlights her superlative songwriting abilities. The track features vibrant synth chords and disco-esque percussion, creating a perfect backdrop for Wolf’s soulful vocals to express the agony of heartbreak. Her lyrics weave moments of self-realization and maturity with playful delusion, capturing the struggle of holding onto a fading relationship.

Earlier this year, Wolf generated buzz with the release of the album’s lead single “Cinderella,” a disco-rock bop that set the tone for the album’s genre-blending exploration. This was followed by other tracks like “Toro,” “Alone in Miami,” and “Motorcycle,” each revealing more layers of her ambitious project.

“Soup explores my relationship to commitment and follow through. If you ever really wanted to be there for someone fully but ended up getting drunk on a rooftop instead, Soup is for you!” says Wolf. She describes “Big Ideas” as her “mid-20s coming of age album,” documenting wild nights, complex relationships, and her evolving thoughts on identity and purpose.

“Big Ideas” propels Wolf to new artistic heights, showcasing her honed sense of self and musicianship. The album is a heartfelt anthology of vibrant, life-altering tracks that solidify her place in the music world. Following her critically acclaimed debut album “Juno” in 2021, Wolf’s rise has been meteoric. She has performed at major festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, sold out tours across North America and Europe, and opened for renowned artists such as Lorde and Paramore. Recently, she toured with Olivia Rodrigo on the European leg of the “GUTS World Tour,” performing at iconic venues like The O2 in London and Accor Arena in Paris.

In support of “Big Ideas,” Remi Wolf will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on July 18th and embark on her international headlining tour starting September 10th.
