Pussy Riot Drop “Candy Dopamine”
The official music video for the “Candy Dopamine,” a single from Pussy Riot’s debut album “Cyka,” features a guest appearance by Avenged Sevenfold.
“This song is kind of a love and hate song to prescription and designer drug culture,” comments Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova. “It started with my dependence on anti-depressants, but it’s also looking at everyone now mental-health-maxxing and looks-maxxing via pills and injections. It’s not a judgement; it’s just an observation and my personal experience with these things.”
Candy Dopamine
Tolokonnikova is a conceptual artist, musician and creator of the protest collective Pussy Riot. She spent two years in a Russian jail for her protest performance “Punk Prayer” (2012), which is considered one of performance art’s defining works. Her 2023 presentation and exhibition “Putin’s Ashes” landed her back on Russia’s wanted list.
“Cyka” will arrive on Friday, June 12th.
