Erin Elliot & Sophia Frank Serve Up the Sweetest Collab Yet
Cape Town pop-rock powerhouse Erin Elliot has teamed up with rising star Sophia Frank for a sizzling new single that is anything but innocent. Their latest track, Birthday Cake, drops with a wink, a laugh, and a whole lot of sass, mixing cheeky storytelling with bold, unapologetic female energy.
From the first verse, Birthday Cake feels like a late-night gossip session between best friends. Lyrics like “Girls I’ve got a secret, pinky promise that you’ll keep it” set the stage for a track that is playful, daring, and unafraid to flip the script on how women talk about love, sex, and pleasure. With infectious hooks, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, and a chorus that will have fans yelling “We didn’t even eat the birthday cake“, it is a single designed to turn heads and spark conversation.
To turn up the heat even further, Erin and Sophia are also releasing a full music video to bring the story of Birthday Cake to life on screen, adding a visual layer of sass, chaos, and fun that matches the energy of the track.
Musically, the song channels Erin’s signature 2000s-inspired pop-rock sound with Sophia’s fresh edge, creating a collab that is as sweet as it is explosive. The energy is rebellious, confident, and above all, fun, proving once again that women writing about desire on their own terms is not just powerful, it is irresistible.
Sweet, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore, Birthday Cake is more than just a song. It is a statement piece that solidifies Erin and Sophia’s arrival as pop stars on the South African scene, while hinting at a future that could carry them far beyond local stages.
More Than a Song — It’s a Statement
Off the back of the hugely successful launch of Pretty Loud, the new female-led creative ecosystem that everyone in the SA music industry is talking about, Birthday Cake takes on even greater meaning.
As co-founder of Pretty Loud, Erin is leading the charge in redefining what spaces for women in music look like. And as a Pretty Loud member, Sophia represents the next wave of fearless talent the platform is empowering. Their collaboration on Birthday Cake is more than a catchy release, it is a living example of community, sisterhood, and the power of women building each other up.
“Birthday Cake is cheeky, it is messy, it is fun, but it is also a reminder that women can talk about sex and desire without shame. That is the energy Pretty Loud is all about: fearless, female-driven, and impossible to ignore,” says Erin.
With this release, Erin and Sophia are not just serving cake, they are serving confidence, camaraderie, and a new wave of girl power in music. Still hungry for more after this latest banger? Birthday Cake is just the opening act. With a carefully planned release rollout already in motion, Erin and Sophia are stepping into what promises to be a defining chapter in their careers.
