Shura - religion (u can lay your hands on me)
“religion (u can lay your hands on me)” the new song by Shura off ‘forevher,’ out August 16 on Secretly Canadian.
This recreation of Rodin’s classic artwork ’The Kiss’ with female subjects challenges the viewer to see the true essence of romantic love between two people, no matter their gender.
“With ‘BKLYNLDN’ I wanted to explore having both a sonic & lyrical evolution. It’s about desire - playing with the idea of it being all consuming and at times overwhelming. It starts with the immediacy of physical desire - ‘this isn’t love’ and yet as the song unfolds that sentiment begins to unravel; I am clearly in love and instead of my girlfriend coming to London, I end up moving Brooklyn. I wanted to capture that reversal and for me that section feels like my summer, skipping through Brooklyn, holding hands with my girlfriend and singing out loud without caring about how stupid you look.”
