Get ready to add a splash of sunshine to your playlist! Singer-songwriter Soph is back with her latest single, PAPAGEI, a summery pop anthem that’s as vibrant and catchy as its title suggests. With an irresistible hook that chants:
“Pa-Pa-Pa! Pa-Papagei!”
The upbeat melody and short, snappy syllables practically demand you sing along, while the feel-good vibes are contagious enough to lift anyone’s spirits. The song invites listeners to join Soph on a carefree bar visit, where everyday worries are left at the door. True to her musical mission, Soph creates an atmosphere of lightness and connection that resonates with everyone.
“Wie ein Pa-Pa-Papagei, fluttering around me in circles…”
PAPAGEI is the third single from Soph’s highly anticipated debut album, set to release on October 4th, 2024. It follows her already successful tracks PILOT and ENDLICH WIEDER AM MEER, delivering the same signature sound: lively dance-pop beats infused with tropical house vibes. Soph’s unique touch shines through. Her music effortlessly bridges the gap between German pop and Schlager, delighting fans of both genres with a modern twist.
In the accompanying music video, directed by Vesely Marek, Soph dazzles with her dance moves and playful energy. Actor and model Wieland Lackinger stars as the persistent “parrot” in the video, whose over-the-top flirtations hilariously miss the mark with Soph and her confident crew of girls. It’s a colorful, cheeky, and dynamic visual feast that’s as entertaining as the song itself.
What I think about the song?
After listening to PAPAGEI, I can confidently say this track is an absolute joyride! The infectious beat immediately transports you to a sun-soaked dance floor, and Soph’s vocals are vibrant and full of personality. The tropical house influences give it a fresh, summery vibe that makes you want to move, and the cheeky lyrics add a playful twist.
What stands out most to me is the balance between fun and sophistication—Soph manages to deliver a song that’s lighthearted and radio-friendly while still feeling polished and clever. The repetition of “Pa-Pa-Pa!” is pure genius: it’s impossible not to hum along after just one listen.
Overall, PAPAGEI is a testament to Soph’s talent as a singer-songwriter. She’s nailed the art of creating music that’s both uplifting and memorable, and I can’t wait to hear more from her upcoming album. If you’re in need of a mood boost, this track is a must-listen!
Stream PAPAGEI now, and don’t forget to check out the music video for even more good vibes.
