Démira - Metropolis

In Metropolis, Dutch songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Démira sings about gaslighting, women's bodies and ownership. Shot in one take, the music video is about regaining agency while Démira undresses herself. Hinting to Alanis Morisette's and "Hunger Makes Me A Modern Girl" by Carrie Brownstein, Démira tries to reclaim the subject in artistic terms to challenge a contemporary sexist trope.

Démira wrote Metropolis in Amsterdam and produced the track with BAFTA crew composer Marli Wren in Manchester. Metropolis is the third single leading up to Démira's debut album titled Iggy.
