This one’s for the freaks only. Sudan Archives celebrated The Egyptian Lover’s 60th birthday with the new “Freakalizer” Remix, which premiered at Egyptian’s Lodge Room bash in Los Angeles. The video was directed by rapper and Low End Theory cofounder All City Jimmy and follows Sudan around LA in a candy-coated, drop-top Mustang en route to the sold-out show. Her pup Junko even makes a cameo.
It’s been a year since Sudan released her album Natural Brown Prom Queen. Since then, she’s played festivals around the world, including Coachella and Glastonbury; won awards, and performed on Colbert and Fallon. Earlier this year, she collaborated with ODESZA for the “Selfish Soul” Remix.
