Brooke Candy is a name that isn’t mentioned enough when it comes to alternative voices in pop music. After releasing her debut album on RCA Records, she’s back at it as an independent artist. And, like with Robyn, that independence is conducive to a creative state of mind that fits her so well; an opinion also shared by Mykki Blanco. On this new offering, “My Sex”, the Californian queer and feminist artist connects with Mykki, as well as with Pussy Riot and MNDR. The wild, sex-positive anthem comes with an amazing 3D-animated video, which was directed by Swedish artist Josefin Jonsson, aka Pastelae. Musically, the tune is just as wild and free as the visuals on the screen, but with a sweet pop undercurrent.

Brooke went in-depth on the track in an interview with Dazed Digital (that you should definitely read):

[su_quote]It’s a feminist, sex-positive anthem for a new generation – like a punk rock ‘Lady Marmalade’ or something.[/su_quote]

PUSSY RIOT‘s new single “Police State” also marks the first anniversary of Trump presidency and the message of the track can totally apply to the United States’ conservative, extreme right-wing administration. The video features American actress Chloë Sevigny who plays a repressive policewoman who is notably arresting children. The shocking contrasts are representing the duality between a disillusioned generation and a few political leaders who ru(i)n the world.

Taken from a long statement about the video release of “Police State”, Pussy Riot‘s Nadya Tolokonnikova notably said:

Actions are more important that opinions and comments. It’s crucial to build alternative institutions, establish alternative power structures and networks, especially when your government sucks. There’s a lot that can be done and should be done. Putin will not disappear tomorrow, but we can show our fellow Russians how corrupted, damaging and ineffective his rule is. If everybody who denounced Trump on social media showed up on the streets and refuse to leave until he’s gone, he’d be out of office in a week. What it takes is just to abandon our learned helplessness.

Pussy Riot worked with GRAMMY nominee Ricky Reed on the song and the video was directed by Matt Creed and the director of photography is Sean Williams. Watch it below.
