Review
Dorian Electra's latest album "Fanfare" is a wild ride through the circus of celebrity and fandom in the age of social media. This thing is a true genre-blender, taking Electra's hyperpop roots and throwing in some jazz, classical and even metal for good measure. The sound is grandiose and operatic, kind of like a rock opera with an attitude.
Lyrically, Electra really dives deep into some juicy topics - identity, performance, and the blurry lines between reality and online personas. There's critique of the cult-like frenzies of online fandoms and the weird way famous folks are both worshipped and put under a microscope.
Musically, it's a bass-heavy, dynamic project with some quirky elements like marching band drums that make the sound uniquely Electra. The production is rich, layered and experimental, never letting you get bored. Tracks like "Freak Mode" and "Puppet" showcase Electra's versatility and creative range.
Ultimately, "Fanfare" is a bold, innovative work that solidifies Electra as an artist who's not afraid to push boundaries and tackle the weird, wild world of celebrity and the internet age head-on. If you're into experimental, avant-garde pop with a bite, this album is definitely worth a spin. Buckle up - it's a wild ride! - Ava
