THE STORY OF THIS COLLABORATION WITH PUSSY RIOT
This collaboration with Masha and Diana - founding members of PUSSY RIOT - comes only days after they were arrested and jailed for hanging the Rainbow Flag on five main government headquarters buildings in Moscow, on Putin's birthday, to protest against homophobia and violence against LGBTQI+ citizens.

Their incredible live show, RIOT DAYS, which is based on Masha's book of the same name, was scheduled to be performed in many countries around the world, when the coronavirus pandemic struck. All shows were then cancelled, in a devastating blow to the artists' livelihood and well-being.

This, however, gave me the unlikely opportunity to work with Masha and Diana on this song, "Working Class Hero". Diana sings a mesmerising, haunting lead vocal, while Masha's angry poem about Trump, in Russian language in the middle section, which Masha and Diana rap, brought sanity to the otherwise dark, Orwellian irony of the pro-Trump sections.

Every day, PUSSY RIOT continue to fight for their community, using their intellect, their artistic expression and their bodies.
