Fancy getting down to a bit of techno beat or something like it? Here is the groove that you have been waiting for.The new single,’Sexy Clown’ coincides with the announcement of a new album, out in February, It’s titled ‘City of Clowns’, made in collaboration with Soulwax and Pierre Guerineau. The previously released track Y.A.A.M also features so you can check that out too. Meanwhile, read some blurb then get to the tracks.
Arriving alongside the announcement, Davidson shares “Sexy Clown”, a track rooted in the same push-pull of authenticity and perception. It explores Davidson’s conflicted feelings around her treatment as an outsider – someone whose vulnerability and mettle, candidness and humour – struggle to co-exist in people’s minds. In writing that song, though, she realised she’s no longer conflicted about it. She knows exactly who she is: “You like it when I’m mean, you like it Sexy? Don’t get it confused, cuz I do it for me,” Davidson humorously laments on the single. Paired with a lo-fi video shot in Milan, a city Davidson admires for its underground culture, the video aims to embrace our inner clown, the one who refuses to go by the rules. “Most people have a clown inside of them. Some are funny, some are shy, some are twisted, some are dark. The clown is the part of us that is dying to be seen, for better or for worse,” explains Davidson.
