Boyfriend recruits Pussy Riot for new hymn for the debaucherous ‘Dance With the Devil’

Modern pop provocateur Boyfriend continues to build anticipation for her forthcoming album with a new single out today featuring Pussy Riot. ‘Dance With the Devil’ is a debaucherous offering that fuses rock, dance and hyperpop into a lustful anthem. This pairing of Boyfriend and Pussy Riot stands at the forefront of counterculture and reclaiming what womxn are owed.

“I grew up believing in the Devil,” says Boyfriend on the release. “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.”

Further elaborating, Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova said, “I believe that Virgin Mary was a feminist, and if she lived today, she’d be making music with Boyfriend and Pussy Riot.” Alluding to the upcoming official video she continued, “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?”
