About Drinkee

"Drinkee" is a song by Sofi Tukker. The song was released in April 2016. The song is inspired by the poem "Relógio" by Brazilian poet Chacal. The lyrics are sung in the original language of Portuguese. According to Hawley-Weld, "It doesn't matter whether or not you can understand Portuguese. The point of "Drinkee" isn't the meaning; the point is the nonsense." In the song, Hawley-Weld's voice fuses together with layered underlying sounds that include distorted electric guitar, a strong bass line, bongos and cowbells. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 59th ceremony.
