SOFT PLAY Announces New Album ‘HEAVY JELLY’ and UK Tour Dates

Formerly known as Slaves, the UK music sensation SOFT PLAY has carved out their own unique space in the industry with three Top 10 albums, Gold certification, a Mercury Prize nomination, and headlining Alexandra Palace. Collaborating with Mike D of Beastie Boys, they have left an indelible mark on the music scene.

After a six-year hiatus, SOFT PLAY is back with their highly anticipated album ‘HEAVY JELLY,’ set to release on July 19th. This album reflects the duo’s renewed passion and camaraderie, showcasing a new chapter in their musical journey. Named after a Jiu-Jitsu instructor’s advice to be like ‘heavy jelly,’ the album embodies the band’s perspective that life may be heavy, but it’s also filled with humor.

Lead vocalist Laurie emphasizes that their music aims to inspire listeners to take positive actions in their lives, whether it’s hitting the gym or pursuing personal growth. Guitarist Isaac echoes this sentiment, encouraging fans to stay true to themselves and enjoy the ride.
