Sohodolls are starting the new year with a bang, dropping “My Religion,“ a bold and electrifying alt-pop anthem that dives deep into obsession, desire, and playful bravado. Inspired by the raw confidence of 90s and 00s pop icons like Eminem, Britney Spears, and Ginuwine, the track blends nostalgic swagger with modern electronic intensity, wrapped in the band’s signature dark, unhinged synths and hypnotic production.
Produced by Grammy-nominated Dimitri Tikovoi (known for his work with Charli XCX, Black Honey, and Becky Hill), “My Religion” is a thrilling mix of sleek pop polish and gritty electronic energy. Tikovoi, who also produced Sohodolls’ viral hit “Mayday,” once again amplifies the band’s seductive, high-voltage sound, crafting a track that is as rebellious as it is addictive.
Frontwoman Maya von Doll describes the song as an experiment in confident swagger. “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 is a high-energy, genre-blurring anthem that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly original. With its hypnotic beats, infectious hooks, and just the right dose of theatrical excess, “My Religion” cements Sohodolls as cult favorites in the alt-pop scene.
The band has been experiencing a major resurgence, climbing the Billboard viral charts after Madonna’s daughter helped spark renewed TikTok interest in their 00s catalog. Meanwhile, their track “Bad” was recently featured in Netflix’s top 10 series Geek Girl, and tastemakers like 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 embrace boldness, individuality, and dark pop excellence. With a long-awaited new album on the horizon, Sohodolls are back and more powerful than ever, inviting listeners to convert to their cult of intoxicating sound.
