Catherine Jeanne-D’Arc Flips the Script with Bold & Brash “Not Demure”

Catherine Jeanne-D’Arc

Catherine Jeanne-D’Arc releases her most recent single and music video, “Not Demure,” she hurtles headlong at the waifish, internalized aesthetic of the “Very Demure” TikTok trend. Instead of whispering, she roars with an extravagant rap/trap anthem celebrating an unapologetic woman who won’t shrink herself for anyone.

Born from Camp Potéra, an all-women and diversity-led writing camp, the track is a statement and a rebellion. Jeanne-D’Arc’s instinct was to run in the other direction when camp founder Georgette asked her to write a song inspired by the demure TikTok trend. And thank god she did.

With ornate visuals, the music video is as extravagant as the song itself. Jeanne-D’Arc demands the screen with an informal, high-octane presence that oozes swagger. The production goes all in on the song’s bravado, with big styling, dramatic cuts, and an almost cantata-like theatricality that won’t be surreptitiously watched.

In a world that frequently rewards women for keeping their mouths shut, “Not Demure” is a call to arms. It’s chaos, sound, and fury, saturated with style and the defiance we need.

US3R’s ‘Dopamine’ Delivers a Hypnotic High with Pulsating Synthwave and Raw Emotion

US3R

US3R has carved out a signature sound by seamlessly blending industrial pop, electronica, and alternative rock, and “Dopamine” is a prime example of his ability to push sonic boundaries while staying deeply personal. The track’s immersive synth layers create an intoxicating atmosphere while hypnotic beats pulse like a racing heartbeat, mirroring the highs and lows of an insatiable craving.

His vocal delivery is commanding and vulnerable, drawing the listener into the song’s emotional core. There’s an almost cinematic quality to how he builds tension, starting with a sultry, seductive energy before peeling back the layers to reveal something raw and unfiltered. It’s an experience, one that mimics the rollercoaster of seeking pleasure, only to be met with the inevitable crash.

The production is a masterclass, in contrast. Crisp, futuristic synths shimmer against moody undertones while tight percussion drives the track forward, keeping the momentum alive. It’s the kind of track that wouldn’t feel out of place in a neon-drenched cyberpunk film or pulsing through the speakers of an underground club at 2 a.m.

At its core, “Dopamine” is about human nature itself. It taps into that universal feeling of wanting more, chasing euphoria, and dealing with the consequences that come with it. US3R gives us something to feel, to reflect on, and to lose ourselves in.
