Annie releases video for Putin protest song ‘Russian Kiss’
By Josh Haggis
Cult Norwegian pop singer Annie and artist Bjarne Melgaard have teamed up for a song and short film provoked by the anti-gay laws in Russia.
Annie recorded the song, titled Russian Kiss, with her longtime producer Richard X (Will Young, Rachel Stevens, Liberty X) in London last November. Its lyrics “fight for the freedom of love,” a press release explains, “and are pointed directly towards Putin and Russia”.
The video is described as a “colourful, hard hitting [piece] protesting against the Putin Regime and its anti gay laws”. Watch it below.
