"My Type" Sets the Stage: Sudan Archives Announces New Album, "THE BPM"

With her upcoming third studio album, "THE BPM," due to drop on October 17, 2025, via Stones Throw Records, Sudan Archives, the genre-defying maestro Brittney Parks, is poised to usher in a new era of her artistry. The album’s lead single, "My Type," offers a potent preview, a self-proclaimed "rap rap song" that pulsates with cascading rhythms and lyrics celebrating sexual liberation and the nuances of female friendships, blurring lines between platonic and romantic love. Its accompanying video, directed by Luke Orlando, visually manifests her new "Gadget Girl" persona, depicting Sudan creating multiple iterations of herself, a technological dance between creator and creation. "THE BPM" itself promises to be a vibrant sonic journey, rooted in the club cultures of Chicago and Detroit, where Parks channeled the pioneering sounds of her parents' Midwestern roots into a high-octane blend of proto-techno, Jersey Club, and experimental beats, all anchored by her signature virtuosic string work. Beyond the electrifying rhythms of "My Type," and the earlier release of "DEAD" and the double single "MY TYPE" / "YEA YEA YEA," the album delves into profound themes of mental illness, self-love, and the complexities of romance in a technologically-driven world, all delivered with an infectious, party-starting energy that solidifies Sudan Archives' position as an essential and innovative voice in contemporary music.
