Dorian continues to maintain their title of pop music’s provocateur with this new release which follows on from a viral marketing campaign, which saw them plaster walls across the globe with “I <3 SODOMY” posters.

Produced by frequent collaborators Count Baldor and Marcus Andersson (SOPHIE, Rina Sawayama), and co-written by Lauren Aquilina (Ava Max, Demi Lovato), 'Sodom & Gomorrah' is a crunchy, guitar fuelled slice of alt-pop perfection and arguably one of the most commercial singles that Dorian has released to date. The new single follows on from the Clarence Clarity produced 'Freak Mode', which was released this April to much acclaim from fans welcoming in this new era for Electra.

Speaking about the new single, Dorian explains: “'Sodom & Gomorrah' is the biblical story of two cities that were so sinful that God destroyed them. The word Sodomy - derived from this story - has often been used to oppress queer people, so I wanted to reclaim it in a bratty, slutty, sexy song. Musically, I was inspired by the pop I grew up on (Britney Spears, Missy Elliot), but with a modern twist, and heavy guitars.”

Directed by Dorian and their creative partner Weston Allen, the new video sees Dorian re-imagine the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in a fantastical way that evokes the legacy of pop icons past. Stylised as a trashy, post-apocalyptic dystopia complete with whips, dance routines, and a touristy “I <3 SODOMY” souvenir shop, this soon to be iconic video is the perfect accompaniment to the poppy new track.

Those yet enlightened must revisit Electra’s first two albums - the world building 2019 album Flamboyant and 2020’s edgy, provocative My Agenda. Dorian’s music masterfully blends together an assortment of genres, including pop, metal, jazz, medieval, epic baroque, classical, EDM, and more. It’s why they’ve been able to collaborate with such a wide range of artists including Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, 100 gecs, The Village People, Pussy Riot, Rebecca Black, and more.

Electra spent most of 2022 busy at work on their forthcoming project, which sees them examining the socio-political effects of internet culture and the rise of the parasocial relationship. DAZED visited them in the studio early last year, read about that wild experience HERE.

The ultimate pop futurist, Dorian Electra is a shapeshifting musician, visual artist, fashionista, joker, internet philosopher, with eyes focused forward…stay tuned for what lies ahead.
