Iranian-American trailblazer Dornika has never been one to play it safe. The Berlin-based artist, known for her unflinching authenticity and pulsating club anthems, is back with a vengeance. Her latest release, “Bush,” is a middle finger to societal norms wrapped in gritty hyperpop and booty bass.
Released with an equally bold video, “Bush” is a celebration of self-expression, dripping in Dornika’s signature aesthetic: fearless, flamboyant, and unapologetically queer. The song tackles the archaic beauty standards placed on women, particularly the stigma around body hair, with sharp wit and infectious beats that demand attention.
Musically, Dornika teamed up with DJ Kasper G to craft a soundscape that is as infectious as it is boundary-pushing. Gritty, playful, and dripping with fierce energy, “Bush” demands attention on the dance floor while making listeners reflect on deeper societal issues.
Meanwhile, the music video is a visual feast dripping in Dornika’s avant-garde styling. Loud, campy, and impossible to look away from, the NSFW visuals encourage us to throw inhibition out the window.
Dornika’s music has always been about more than just a good time. Tracks like “I Like Boys in a Miniskirt” and “Nobody F*ing Owns My Body” established her as a voice for those who live unapologetically outside the lines. With “Bush,” she takes her mission to another level, drawing on her Iranian heritage to explore cultural norms around beauty while smashing them to pieces.
Dornika’s ability to bridge cultures and create space for underrepresented voices makes her a transformative force in today’s music scene – dive into Dornika’s world of fearless creativity and bold empowerment by viewing the NSFW music video for “Bush” below.
