A funk-pop sensation...
17 · 10 · 2025
The duo piri & Tommy continue to drift away from their dance music roots and dive headfirst into pop, funk, and disco with their new single, ‘miss provocative’, released today.
The track features catchy vocals paired with guitar-driven production, showcasing both artists sharing the lead vocals.
piri shares: “This song celebrates the victory of the female pop-culture provocateur against the patriarchy trying to suppress her. Society has made significant strides in self-expression over the past century, but it took trailblazers to push the boundaries. I want to honor those pioneering women throughout history who endured challenges to create a safer space for self-expression for everyone.”
The duo first gained attention with their viral debut, ‘soft spot’, which amassed 32 million streams after its TikTok success in 2021, and they haven’t slowed down since.
They added, “We've always created music that we love, and this project has finally given us the opportunity to fully embrace funk. Making music together feels magical, living as artists is magic, and the fact that we met (on Tinder!) is the most enchanting thing of all.”
Their upcoming EP, ‘magic!’, is set to be released on November 7th. To celebrate, piri & Tommy will be touring the nation, including a performance at London’s Jazz Café on November 5th.
The cover art depicts a pair of harlequin tights being removed by strong hands, a magician’s trick that resonates with their new escapist direction, especially as they will be joined on tour by Luke Osey, a real-life magician.
Tune in now.
