NZ’s high priestess of dark pop, MISSY, reveals a bold new musical project and it starts with F*CK.
Aotearoa’s very own high priestess of dark pop, MISSY, has today released FUCK - the first in a trilogy of albums, which will be revealed in the coming months.
The first offering in the trilogy, FUCK, is a 10-track tour de force, which showcases MISSY’s signature style of attention grabbing, spicy pop with an eccentric and cinematic twist.
FUCK features the already-released tracks ‘50 Shades of Beige’, ‘Speak Now’ with SWEATR, and ‘Too Close For Comfort’, all which sit alongside new single ‘Fuck Marry Kill’.
The fierce and sexy, ‘Fuck Marry Kill’ stands alone as one of the album’s highlights but also hints at what’s still in store on the three-album journey, which the acclaimed New Zealand artist and producer is embarking upon.
“‘Fuck Marry Kill’ encapsulates the essence of the entire project. It’s pop with an edge, sexy, expressive, and effervescent,” says MISSY.
Taking its name from the popular Q&A game where the participants must choose from a list of three people, who they’d f**k, marry or kill, MISSY says: “I took the phrase and re-routed it to being about ONE person. F**k, marry or kill then illustrates an early phase of possessive and consuming attraction that isn't based on any rationality or internal logic - it is simply an urge.”
The song is accompanied by a music video made in collaboration with STORMIX Studios, which sees MISSY draped over a chaise-lounge, with stunning long fabrics and hair extensions.
It all sets the scene for a bold and ambitious trilogy of albums, which MISSY has composed around characters. “They are written with the influence of my original characters Frill, M*rder Bride, Peacock and Butterfly. I want to explore how modern relationships socialize people to be narcissistic or selfish. I want to explore female rage, lust and love as well as critique (or explore) the normalisation of certain behaviours within relationships in this day and age.”
The majority of the project was written and produced by MISSY herself, while on a writing trip to Los Angeles in 2024. “I was feeling very small and alone over there and distracted myself with the challenge of creating an album that eventually escalated somehow into three.”
Buckle up and enjoy the ride. MISSY is not holding back!
