Hyperpop artist Dorian Electra (they/them) has released their eccentric, playful new single 'Puppet'. The track is taken from their hotly-anticipated album Fanfare, due for release on 6th October.

There are few artists that can open a song with an interpolation of Beethoven’s 'Für Elise', before blasting into crunchy synths and trap hi-hats but, as always, Dorian Electra continues to elevate pop music to new extremes and new single 'Puppet' is no different. The release sees Dorian once again playing with the idea of control - a theme strewn throughout their forthcoming album Fanfare - with their tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Accompanying the single is a music video, directed by Weston Allen and Dorian, which sees them controlled and bound by the 'Puppet' master as they become the object of their own design.

Fanfare is the pop provocateur’s third album and sees them explore parasocial relationships, from the claims we stake on figureheads' lives to taking in obsession, idolatry and pop culture as modern mythology. Throughout the record, Dorian blurs the lines between love and hate, fandom and control whilst also seeing them flip and rewrite narratives imposed by a heteronormative society. Working with a cast of creatives, including long-time collaborators Clarence Clarity and Weston Allen, alongside Casey MQ, Count Baldor and Klaxons’ Jamie Reynolds, Fanfare asks what we expect - or demand - from our public figures. Fanfare sees Dorian Electra once again display their unique abilities as a shapeshifting musician, visual artist, fashionista, joker, internet philosopher and more with eyes focused forward.

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.
