Madame Gandhi Reimagines A More Feminine World For "Top Knot Turn Up" Video

Gandhi used "Top Knot Turn Up" as an opportunity to "provide and design the alternative" for the trap and EDM music she loves, without the "violently misogynist lyrics" that so often come with the genres. "I don't want to turn up to the sound of my own oppression," she notes. Partnering with Brazilian trap producer Ruxell, Gandhi tapped into baile funk's heavy rhythm for the song, and combined it with her own vocal percussion and empowering lyrics.

Madame Gandhi “Visions” Album Release

Madame Gandhi is releasing Visions, her second EP, and it's an exhilarating rush of global styles and future-thinking politics. From the blissed-out, spacey "queer femme love song" that is "See Me Thru" to the non-conformist Brazilian trap banger "Top Knot Turn Up" to the impish synths and shuffling rhythms of the Fela Kuti-inspired "Bad Habits," Visions aims high. "It's an introspective album about being your best self and serving your community," she explains.
