“Drinkee” by Sofi Tukker
On Sofi Tukker’s “Drinkee”, the vocalist devotes the chunk of the lyrics into detailing her lifestyle. The lyrics commence with Sofi acknowledging her reliance on the Most High and then coming off as being a bit existential. Beyond that, it seems as if her life is based on some sort of set schedule consisting of socializing, working and as implied by the title, ‘having a drink’, particularly of the dizzying variety. All lyrics considered, again it seems as if the emphasis is on all of the above being a regular routine of hers.
Was “Drinkee” a single release?
Yes. On April 21 of 2016, Sofi Tukker released it as their maiden single. Simply put, “Drinkee” holds the distinction of being the first single of the duo’s musical career.
