DOLLY BING BING Reveals New Single ‘Kusje’
Belgian performance artist DOLLY BING BING is back with her brand new single Kusje, an explosive pop track written by Dolly in collaboration with New York producer ABSRDST.
Kusje (a playful Dutch title meaning ‘little kiss’) is what DOLLY describes as a “deadly sexy radio-hit-club-banger”, taking loose inspiration from the boppy vibes of 2000s era Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. I am really enjoying how the track is both light-hearted and sensual, while also carrying a potent message about our ‘hardstyle cyberlife’. Kusje is packed with rhythmic, rushing sighs, nasty giggles and a filthy, sticky beat that enhances the sensual atmosphere of the song.
Accompanying the release, DOLLY BING BING has shared a fierce, futuristic, Mad Max-style music video directed by KYKY KONG KONG. The video shows a sword-wielding DOLLY in a post-apocalyptic (post-corona) world, where only the most flamboyant creatures have survived. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, DOLLY said,
‘Kusje’ is about online love and how to make the fantasies on the screen and the pleasures on the phone come true. Based on my own real experience of taking a plane across the world to reach a lover.
Speaking about the video, Antwerp legend, Kyky Kong Kong, said,
DOLLY encapsulates all that is future and past in one real, tactile being from flesh and blood, but who actually looks like she’s from a higher order, genetically modified or a semi-cyborg. To me DOLLY symbolizes a new era, so I wanted to show her off as a shining battle goddess rising from disaster and bringing spark to a lost world.
The video feels especially poignant right now, as DOLLY explains,
In the light of the current ‘Corona-pocalypse’ and lockdown-crisis, the video shows how, after the end of the old mechanism and the (maybe desired?) destruction of an already sick world, brilliant diamonds are still dancing and shimmering between the wreckage in the wasteland. They are like swords: they get stronger in the purge of the fire. Nothing is lost by the fall of a civilization and the death of its capitalist ratrace routines: more freedom is gained for what already escaped its suffocating loop-holes.
