GRAMMY-nominated electronic duo SOFI TUKKER (Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern) have officially signed to Republic Records and today unveil their first single under the label, “COOK,” featuring global superstar J Balvin, accompanied by an official music video.
“COOK” marks a new chapter for SOFI TUKKER, combining the duo’s euphoric, percussive dance energy with J Balvin’s unmistakable star power and cultural influence. The track continues their genre-blending approach, merging electronic intensity with global rhythms in a way that is both club-ready and celebratory.
The music video, directed by The Reggies, features SOFI TUKKER and J Balvin in a visually dynamic, high-energy narrative. Bursting with color, movement, and cross-cultural creative chemistry, the video amplifies the song’s vibrant spirit and dancefloor-ready energy.
The partnership with Republic Records represents a major milestone for the duo, following years of independent releases and selective deals. Reflecting on the move, SOFI TUKKER told Billboard, “It wasn’t until we met the people at Republic that we decided we wanted to sign with a major label… We couldn’t be more excited to be at a place in our career where we know who we are, have built this ourselves, and now get to learn from and work with a whole new group of smart people to help us bring our visions to life. It’s a big step that’s been years in the making.”
Known for their globally inspired sound and high-energy live shows, SOFI TUKKER continue to blur the lines between electronic and organic, culture and community. Their collaboration with J Balvin spotlights this ethos, uniting shared global influences and club-ready energy at a pivotal moment in their career.
“COOK” is available now on all streaming platforms via Republic Records.
