city: MontrealCanadian DJ-producer Marie Davidson details her sixth studio album City of Clowns, made in collaboration with Soulwax and Pierre Guerineau (Essaie pas, L’Œil Nu, Feu St-Antoine) out 28th February 2025, via Soulwax’s own DEEWEE label. Arriving alongside the announcement, Davidson shares “Sexy Clown", a track exploring Davidson’s conflicted feelings around her treatment as an outsider – someone whose vulnerability and mettle, candidness and humour – struggle to co-exist in people’s minds. In writing that song, though, she realised she’s no longer conflicted about it. She knows exactly who she is: “You like it when I’m mean, you like it Sexy? Don’t get it confused, cuz I do it for me,” Davidson humorously laments on the single. Paired with a lo-fi video shot in Milan, a city Davidson admires for its underground culture. The video aims to embrace our inner clown, the one who refuses to go by the rules.
