Sohodolls Releases New Song “Napoleon Baby”
London-based electropop band Sohodolls, consisting of Maya von Doll (vocals), Toni Sailor (guitar), Weston Doll (Steven Weston) (keyboards), Matt Lord (double bass) and Paul Stone (drums), released a new song “Napoleon Baby”on June 21, 2024.
The song is taken from their upcoming sophomore album, which is expected to be released in 2024 via Filthy Pretty/A&G Records.
The band recorded the song in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.The track was written by Maya von Doll and produced by Otabek Salamov.
“The song is about the pursuit of ambition at all costs,” the band lead singer Maya von Doll said of the song. “I talk about what pursuing a music career has cost me - friendships, relationships and even the loss of better financial opportunities.”- She continued, “I wanted to write and be successful above all else. I swore I'd never give up. But never giving up can mean subjecting yourself to more bruising and more humiliation. This song is a reflection on that irrational wiring. That's why I linked the track to 'Napoleon' because there's been a historic suggestion (whether true or not) that his ambition and drive was born out of an inferiority complex. So, in the song I'm imagining success and I'm imagining thanking my inferiority complex for the art I've created.”
