Montreal’s Sophia Bel has released her debut full-length album, Anxious Avoidant, as well as her new single, “All Fucking Weekend”, which is inspired by early 2000s angst. This song follows the release of the pop-punk anthem 2AM (And I Did It Again), the melancholic catchy ballad Lonely After Curfew, and I Won’t Bite, a folky acoustic guitar-driven track.
All Fucking Weekend opens Anxious Avoidant with one question: what are we? Sophia Bel sits down and asks this dreaded question, one that haunts the relationships of younger generations. The track starts off softly before taking a pop-punk turn, culminating in a striking hyper-pop outro that reflects the intensity of Sophia Bel’s feelings towards her own relationship. Not wanting to pretend anymore, she confronts her partner in a way we’ve all dreamed of doing. By the end, we want to answer Bel’s lyrics – yes! We will spend all weekend with you.
“What really makes this track special to me is how we ended up messing around with the ending, exploring a dynamic tempo change and some angsty screaming with a distinctive pop-punk countermelody,” explains the singer-songwriter.
Accompanied by a music video with an aesthetic that screams Sophia Bel, All Fucking Weekend shows her under colorful lights, setting a nostalgic mood reminiscent of days spent daydreaming and ruminating in her bedroom. Directed by Caraz, Sophia waits nervously for a text message that will likely never come. This anxiety culminates into an energetic performance that truly captures the essence of the lyrics.
