The latest new track from quirky duo FEMM has arrived, in the shape of goth infused ‘Private Dancer’. The song was produced by ADP and Jenn Decilveo, who between them have had a hand in hits from the likes of Duo Lipa, M.I.A., and Miley Cyrus.
Befitting a duo consisting of mannequins with emotions, the song tackles the concept of ‘symbiotic love’; the excess of affection that can lead to the desire to dominate, and the thirst for love that can lead to submission. Or put simply, the desire to use; and the desire to be used.
These two conflicting impulses are reflected in the concept of a marionette or puppet, a thing that wishes to be controlled – a core theme for FEMM. In the accompanying music video, we see inside the mind of a controlling lover. The members of FEMM appear to be trapped inside, but really, they have allowed themselves to be captured. While the controlling lover seeks to dominate, the puppets are secretly the ones pulling the strings.
RiRi and LuLa are mannequins with emotion from New Tokyo. They initially caught the attention of influencers around the world with their breakout anthem ‘Fxxk Boyz Get Money’. Their debut album ‘Femm-Isation’ hit the Top 10 in Billboard’s World Albums chart in the US, and they have been named as an artist to watch in the UK.
