Firstly, <\/strong><strong>David Guetta\u2019s \u201cLove Don\u2019t Let Me Go.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit:<\/strong><span> It was one of the first electronic pop tracks I obsessed over. I would watch the music video over and over, and imagine I was the girl in it and be like \u2018Oh my God, that\u2019s my boyfriend.\u2019 It was really good pop, really good EDM, and it stuck with me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hande Yener\u2019s \u201cRomeo\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit:<\/strong><span> It\u2019s a track from a Turkish pop icon. She brought electro-pop to Turkey in a fashion-forward, feminine way, and she openly supported the queer community. Watching her videos and recreating them with my cousin was a breakthrough moment for me in understanding pop music and femininity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lil\u2019 Kim\u2019s \u201cHow Many Licks?\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit:<\/strong><span> Lil Kim is another huge inspiration to me; that\u2019s where I got the idea for the album cover, the pop-art self-worship. That kind of vanity, sexy energy, that\u2019s something I wanted to channel visually. I love how vulgar, hot, and aggressively sexual her music is, and I wanted to bring that energy into my art too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How are you feeling as you release the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Sissy Misfit: <\/strong><\/strong>I\u2019ve never produced this way. I\u2019ve never sung this way on a record. I\u2019ve never done anything like this before. It\u2019s exciting, but I\u2019m also really anxious \u2013 it\u2019s a career shift for me. My image has changed from quite dark to more playful. This is my strongest work yet, and I can\u2019t wait to see how people react. I\u2019m fine if it\u2019s not liked, I just needed to make it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

The album is her most vulnerable to date, circling the things that define her \u2013 life in London, her Turkish roots, and the turbulent fallout of past relationships, most clearly on \u201cGIRL IN BED.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While it might take a moment to battle through the hardcore textures and scream vocals, what emerges is something far more exposed. \u201cI think this is the most I reveal about myself, but it still has that fantasy element of I always want the listener to wonder about who I am. Is she telling the truth? Is she telling a lie? I want the lines between fiction and nonfiction to be blurred in the music.\u201d It\u2019s a through line in the project \u2013 the sense that you\u2019re being let into the intimate spiel of an afters, even if you\u2019re only overhearing it from the balcony below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here, Sissy Misfit talks us through her album\u2019s essential listening playlist, take notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html-embed\"><iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/65S2NbOJH0wPXSn6ZVj2D9?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>How would you describe the energy of the album in three words?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit: <\/strong><span>Sissy. Fucking. Misfit. That\u2019s it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell me about the album visuals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit: <\/strong><span>It\u2019s my favourite album cover I\u2019ve ever done. It was such a battle, because the album is flagged as sexually explicit &#8211; even though my nipple says my name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What music did you grow up listening to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit: <\/strong><span>I was a very classic goth metal kid, ever since I was like 12. I was very heavy on local Turkish metal bands. I never listened to electronic music at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"d4e29c49-89b4-482d-8ec4-b3e600cb6877\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1446\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/6\/1436177.png\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"squarish\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.96\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"squarish\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"SISSY FXXXCKING MISFIT\" class=\"img\" height=\"1505\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/6\/1436177.png\" width=\"1446\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">the artist<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Can you talk us through some tracks on the playlist? Firstly, <\/strong><strong>David Guetta\u2019s \u201cLove Don\u2019t Let Me Go.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit:<\/strong><span> It was one of the first electronic pop tracks I obsessed over. I would watch the music video over and over, and imagine I was the girl in it and be like \u2018Oh my God, that\u2019s my boyfriend.\u2019 It was really good pop, really good EDM, and it stuck with me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hande Yener\u2019s \u201cRomeo\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit:<\/strong><span> It\u2019s a track from a Turkish pop icon. She brought electro-pop to Turkey in a fashion-forward, feminine way, and she openly supported the queer community. Watching her videos and recreating them with my cousin was a breakthrough moment for me in understanding pop music and femininity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lil\u2019 Kim\u2019s \u201cHow Many Licks?\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sissy Misfit:<\/strong><span> Lil Kim is another huge inspiration to me; that\u2019s where I got the idea for the album cover, the pop-art self-worship. That kind of vanity, sexy energy, that\u2019s something I wanted to channel visually. I love how vulgar, hot, and aggressively sexual her music is, and I wanted to bring that energy into my art too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How are you feeling as you release the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Sissy Misfit: <\/strong><\/strong>I\u2019ve never produced this way. I\u2019ve never sung this way on a record. I\u2019ve never done anything like this before. It\u2019s exciting, but I\u2019m also really anxious \u2013 it\u2019s a career shift for me. My image has changed from quite dark to more playful. This is my strongest work yet, and I can\u2019t wait to see how people react. I\u2019m fine if it\u2019s not liked, I just needed to make it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
