Sudan Archives‘ album Natural Brown Prom Queen has just turned a year old. To celebrate, The Egyptian Lover has remixed fan favourite, ‘Freakalizer’.
The video for The Egyptian Lover’s ‘Freakalizer’ remix was shot by rapper and Low End Theory co-founder All City Jimmy in Los Angeles. With footage taken at Egypt’s 60th birthday at the Lodge Room, the video sees Sudan at her freakiest in a candy-coloured Mustang convertible, and features a cameo from her dog Junko.
Since the release of Natural Brown Prom Queen, Sudan Archives has had a banner year; she’s appeared at festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Fujirock and Splendour in the Grass, won two A2IM Libera Awards and performed live on Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon late night US TV shows.
Natural Brown Prom Queen, her epic yet deeply personal second album, was one of the most acclaimed records of 2022, named an album of the year by Pitchfork, The Guardian, New York Times, Needle Drop, Time Out, NPR, SPIN and many more. Recently, Sudan Archives was handpicked by superstar Bad Bunny for Rolling Stone’s Future of Music issue.
Having played shows in multiple continents this year, Sudan will join ODESZA to perform ‘Selfish Soul’ during their sets at Life Is Beautiful and Austin City Limits , and play her own sets at Format Festival, Austin City Limits, and LAC3 in Los Angeles, where she’ll close out the year supporting Erykah Badu.

“One of those records that invites you to get comfortable in its dizzying headspace.”
The Observer ****
“The joy of Natural Brown Prom Queen is in the openness she grants to her listeners: a rare glimmer of an artist who is radically vulnerable, in all her glory.”
DJ Mag
“Natural Brown Prom Queen is a celebration: of creative freedom, of Black and brown women, of Brittney Park’s colourful inner world.”
Crack 9/10
“Natural Brown Prom Queen revels in ear-catching beats and hooks while still maintaining Parks’ mile-a-minute rate of musical ideas… ‘Am I good enough?’ she wonders momentarily on ‘Selfish Soul’. More than: we scarcely deserve this.”
Uncut 9/10
“A bold sequel whose charms unravel further with each listen.”
