Musical duo Haute and Freddy, comprised of Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp, are releasing their debut album, "Big Disgrace," on March 13. The 13-track record features soaring Eighties synths and themes of freedom, representing a significant artistic and personal journey for the pair.
The album's creation followed a period of burnout for both Shipp and Buzz, who had spent years writing and producing for other artists. Buzz specifically shared experiences of depression and disillusionment with chasing external validation in the music industry.
Shipp described witnessing Buzz rediscover her passion for music through creating songs purely for joy, which signaled a turning point. This process helped her emerge from a dark place, leading to the creation of Haute and Freddy.
"Big Disgrace" is described by Buzz as an "outburst from a lot of sadness," marking a shift towards prioritizing happiness and authentic self-expression. The duo's focus on genuine creation resonated with fans, leading to a blossoming fanbase.
In support of their debut, Haute and Freddy will embark on an international tour in May. The tour will span across North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe, with scheduled stops in various major cities.
