Cobrah at The Masquerade

CRITIC’S PICK: The girls have been getting really freaky lately. Across music, women are turning the sexism of the music industry on their heads, using sexuality to express their personal power and sexual freedom. Think Sexyy Redd and Kim Petras. Recently, I was introduced to another one of these proud sluts, COBRAH, a Swedish rapper, singer, songwriter, and true fucker. Her music is SEX personified in both subject and sound. Pounding bass and throbbing synths are the bed for her animalistic filth. Song titles titillate, punctuated in all caps like she’s screaming them at you. These include “GOOD PUSS,” “SUCK,” “GOOEY FLUID GIRLS,” “DIP N DRIP,” “BRAND NEW BITCH,” and “WET.” Try not to make a mess. — Matthew Warhol
