Will you tell us a little bit about it?

Yes, I have a new song called Blaze That Ass and Go Down with Sophie.

Rest in peace to Sophie.

We put this album, well, we did this collaboration in 2016 and we're finally here in 2026 to have this to come out.

And I'm so grateful for Sophie's family and everybody's going to love the music.

It's a great collaboration.

... and church music?

What I did was just brought Big Freedia to church, you know? I grew up as, as Freddie, you know, in church, but this time I br- I, you know, I stayed and remained who I am, and I brought Big Freedia to church.

It was time for Freedia to go to church and to give God just the glory and the praise that, you know, keeping me thus far and, you know, keeping me in music for over 20 years, you know? It wa- it was a full circle moment for me.
