The official announcement is finally here. Monarchy has unveiled the first promotional image for their new single, Disintegration featuring their muse and collaborator Dita Von Teese.
The story between Dita and Monarchy is pretty beautiful, which is why it makes this feel really authentic, as opposed to a random pop culture collaboration…and it all started with a Tweet. After seeing Monarchy perform at Coachella in 2011 Dita started Tweeting about them. They began emailing. Monarchy was invited to DJ at one of her private events and it went from there…
The video (set for release in January) is shot by Roy Raz and features Dita extensively as the classic 1950’s housewife escaping the monotony of her marriage through sexual fantasy. The artwork for the collaboration (featured below) is taken by Ali Mahdavi (another one of Dita’s long time collaborators – who we shot the Wonderbra campaign with).
UPDATE: Here is the Mighty Mouse remix – released as a digital teaser for the track. Dita’s vocals are beyond incredible. I’ve heard the final edit of the track and you will be blown away, but cannot share it until the official release. Stay tuned – as the video is next level.
