Pussy Riot and Boyfriend’s "Dance With the Devil" is a debaucherous offering that fuses rock, dance and hyperpop into a lustful anthem. This pairing stands at the forefront of counterculture and reclaiming what womxn are owed. "Dance With the Devil"’s video is premiered by PAPER Magazine today HERE.
As expected, the fans can see a depraved masterpiece co-directed by Pussy Riot creator Nadya Tolokonnikova and visual artist Yulia Shur. The video sees Boyfriend appearing opposite Tolokonnikova and features legendary model/performance artist Amanda Lepore.
“I had a Devilish time working with Boyfriend and Pussy Riot on this video! <3” says Amanda Lepore. The co-director Yulia Shur told PAPER Magazine: “What a hot, wild, disturbing and beautifully grotesque thing we’ve birthed into existence! It's one hell of a dance and you are invited.”
Nadya adds: “I believe that Virgin Mary was a feminist, and if she lived today, she'd be making music with Boyfriend and Pussy Riot. We've co-created this piece with two of my dearest friends, both incredibly strong, dedicated and vocal female artists, Boyfriend and Yulia Shur, and isn't it everyone's dream to work with your best friends on something that excites you deeply?”
"I grew up believing in the Devil," says Boyfriend. "Try as they might to depict him as evil, my main takeaway was that he lived in the land of cigarettes and sex...he drank red wine, gambled, had a choir of electric guitars and was the keeper of the orgasm. This song is an invitation to the Devil's party, where indulgence isn't a sin and temptation isn't a threat. It's also an inversion of the patriarchal depictions of Satan... if God is a woman, so is the Devil, and she's way more fun to hang with." |
