New single from Elisabeth Elektra – Desire – a queer anthem, “celebrating individuality, body positivity, femme joy, and the reclamation of sexual agency.“

Written by Elisabeth Elektra and co-produced alongside renowned producer and drummer Jonny Scott (CHVRCHES, The Kills), the new track previews her forthcoming album, Hypersigil  (due early 2025).

Released on the Occult Babes label, Desire emerges as a proudly queer anthem channeling the subversive spirit of musical icons like Prince, Christine and the Queens, and Lady Gaga. It celebrates individuality, body positivity, femme joy, and the reclamation of sexual agency.

Elektra shares her inspiration for the song: “I wanted to create a sanctuary where voices often silenced could find their power. ‘Desire’ is a rebellion against societal norms, a celebration of bodies in all their forms. It’s a battle cry for those who’ve been told their desires are wrong, a reminder that your sexuality is yours and yours alone.“

Drawing inspiration from the best of peak Madonna with shades of Nile Rodgers, she crafts a buoyant hymn to a smouldering sensuality in all its glorious forms. Supported by a propulsive and cinematic production, Desire has the potential to be a late-summer anthem.

The accompanying music video, a collaborative effort between Elektra and acclaimed art director and photographer Greta Kalva, is a visually arresting exploration of sensuality and creativity. Inspired by the rich tapestry of Greek mythology, dream life, and queer art, the video serves as a powerful statement on the intersection of these elements.

More than just a song, Desire is a cultural touchstone, a clarion call for embracing diversity, challenging societal conventions, and reclaiming personal autonomy. As cultural critic Zeke Apollyon observed, “If OnlyFans were a song, it would be ‘Desire,’ in its celebration of sexual freedom and positivity.”
