Extra! Extra! Get your Dorian Elextra!

Hyperpop icon Dorian Electra recently released their new album My Agenda across all streaming platforms. If you haven’t listened to it yet (on repeat forever), let me be the first to tell you: it SLAPS. 

     Somehow, the full album is chock-full of jaw-dropping collaborations with a wide variety of artists that gave me heart palpitations as they were coming out one-by-one as singles over the past couple of months. My Agenda’s title track has queer activist music legends Pussy Riot and Village People. That’s insane. Not to mention, they sound incredibly powerful together over the track’s hard guitar sound. Dorian Electra really gives us variety in sound and music genre in this album. They dominate in hyperpop but “My Agenda” absolutely nails hard rock, a bit of metal, and screamo pop. My personal favorite track, “Ram It Down” features Mood Killer, Lil Mariko, and Lil Texas. The song is reminiscent of early 2000s club music, the beat feels very “Everytime We Touch”  by Cascada, except there’s Lil Mariko screams at the end of the track after a killer transition. Lil Mariko might sound familiar from her viral music video, “Where’s My Juul”, but she is a trap metal -or as I like to call it, “screamo pop”- artist. I absolutely adore her and I swear I just about dropped out my chair when I saw her name on this album. The song “Ram It Down” itself is about the common phrase, “I don’t care if you’re gay, just don’t ram it down my throat” many conservatives like to use to pretend to not be homophobic. The lyrics are unapologetically horny, making “ram it down” an innuendo to get back at people who are so afraid of being turned gay. The song also suggests that many of these homophobic people are actually deeply repressed, closeted homosexuals themselves- which, to some extent, is scientifically backed (according to my friends who are in the sexuality class at UW). Do your own research, everybody! 

     Unlike their debut album Flamboyant, in which Electra explores gender, sexuality, and masculinity, Electra stated in an interview with Gay Times that “...with ‘My Agenda’ I really wanted to focus on things that were more political, more relevant, that were just on my mind and felt like they were things that I was seeing people talk about, and then also stuff that people weren’t talking about”. Electra comments on toxic internet culture and homophobic conservatives through satirical concept songs, such as “Edgelord”, “Gentleman”, or “Ram It Down”. “Gentleman” and “M’Lady” are like a 2-part song in that they are distinctly meant to go together, and are about the ever-prevalent misogyny of incel culture. “My Agenda” makes fun of the right wing’s irrational fear of the “gay agenda”, even making a reference to Alex Jones’ claim that “...they’re turning the freaking frogs gay”. Dorian Electra takes these depressing themes and turns them on their head, making music that empowers queer people by appropriating Electra’s queer-phobic subject matter’s fashion and rhetoric and making it gay. 

Do your part to spread the gay agenda and listen to Dorian Electra’s My Agenda now!

マリコ、出ておいで❣❣
