Pussy Riot Team Up With Dorian Electra, 100 Gecs’ Dylan Brady for New Song ‘Toxic’
Pussy Riot have released a new song, “Toxic,” featuring Dorian Electra and produced by 100 Gecs ’ Dylan Brady. The song finds the Russian punk outfit melding their style with Electra and Brady’s hyper-pop acumen, with the track fluctuating between blistering rave beats and a completely blown-out chorus. “Come here mansplain me,” Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova sings, “Your balls meet my knee/Freedom I’m craving/Dare to mansplain me.” “Toxic” arrives with a music video, directed by Tolokonnikova and featuring 3D art by Ksti Hu.
