Sohodolls are kicking off 2025 in spectacular fashion with “My Religion,” a bold and brazen alt-pop anthem that takes listeners on a darkly indulgent journey through obsession. Inspired by the unapologetic confidence of 90s and 00s pop icons like Eminem, Britney Spears, and Ginuwine, the track is a seductive blend of nostalgia and modern electronic edge—filtered through the band’s signature unhinged synths and intoxicating production.
Produced by Grammy-nominated Dimitri Tikovoi (known for his work with Charli XCX, Black Honey, and Becky Hill), “My Religion” delivers an irresistible mix of sleek pop polish and gritty electronic intensity. Tikovoi, who also produced Sohodolls’ viral hit “Mayday,” once again amplifies the band’s seductive, high-energy aesthetic, creating a track that feels as rebellious as it is addictive.
Frontwoman Maya von Doll describes the song as an experiment in playful bravado: “I had been intrigued by the almost comedic arrogance of some 90s & noughties pop and R&B songs. I thought it might be fun to try to sing like I was a player. So ‘My Religion’ is as bold as I can get, and it was super fun trying it. I made sure I kept my British accent in the rap section though it was hard as I had always sung along to American rap.”
The result? A high-energy, genre-blurring track that feels both familiar and thrillingly fresh. With its hypnotic production, irresistibly catchy hooks, and just the right amount of theatrical excess, “My Religion” cements Sohodolls’ status as cult favorites of the alt-pop scene.
The band has been enjoying a resurgence, climbing the Billboard viral charts after Madonna’s daughter helped spark renewed interest in their 00s catalog on TikTok. Meanwhile, their track “Bad” was recently featured in Netflix’s top 10 series “Geek Girl”, and industry tastemakers—including BBC Radio 1’s Nels Hylton, Absolute Radio’s Frank Skinner, and Atwood Magazine—are all taking notice.
More than just a song, “My Religion” is a declaration of allegiance to those who dare to be different. With their long-awaited new album on the horizon, Sohodolls are back and stronger than ever—inviting listeners to convert to the cult of dark pop excellence.
