Alongside fellow recent single “Take My Hand”, today’s drop teases what’s to come from Big Freedia’s forthcoming gospel project (more details to follow). 

“This song is a celebration of confidence,” said Big Freedia. “...of dressing up on the outside and feeling proud on the inside. ‘Sunday Best’ is about shining from the soul out.”

Today’s release follows a dynamite showing at SXSW, where Big Freedia partnered with a live choir to debut some of her forthcoming material in a performance that Rolling Stone called “exuberant, joyful and inclusive." 

The aforementioned track drop “Take My Hand” was praised by Billboard who said “over a turbo-charged beat, a series of samples and some gorgeous choral vocals, Freedia reminds everyone that the point is to invite each other in — not push each other away,” while the song also hearkens back to Big Freedia’s deep-rooted connection with the church – she previously served as the choir director for her high school and home church in NOLA, and regularly performed with the New Orleans Gospel Music Workshop of America, and the New Orleans Gospel Soul Children Choir. 

Beyond her critically acclaimed music and deep-rooted New Orleans legacy, Big Freedia is celebrated for her high-profile collaborations—most notably her standout feature on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning hit “Break My Soul” as well as Kesha’s “Raising Hell” and with Lizzo on “Karaoke”. Beyond music, The Queen of Bounce is the executive producer and star of her long-running TV show Big Freedia Bounces Back (Fuse TV), and Big Freedia Means Business ( FUSE , WOW+), and released her memoir Big Freedia: God Save The Queen Diva in 2015. She launched a cannabis line called Royal Bud in 2022 and plans to open her first hotel in New Orleans in 2026.
