Sofi Tukker tantalize on second single of ‘WET TENNIS’ rollout, the Mahmut Orhan-assisted ‘Forgive Me’ – Dancing Astronaut

It’s about loving somebody a lot that you'll allow them to hate you if that’s what they should do to maneuver on, and hoping that sooner or later, the individual will come to forgiveness on their very own.”

“Forgive Me” arrives in tandem with a visible shot at Evcik Seashore and Kilyos Seashore in Istanbul, directed by Hakan Can. The audiovisual expertise, obtainable to view beneath, is flanked by Sofi Tukker’s announcement of a brand new batch of European, Western Asia, and Australian tour dates. The newly stocked content material is enough to maintain listeners engaged till Sofi Tukker return with extra within the time main as much as WET TENNIS‘ April 29 launch by way of Extremely/Sony Music.
