Tierra Whack has shared a new song.
Her new single "Dora" arrived Friday along with an accompanying animated video directed by conceptual artist Alex Da Corte.
"Dora is a tabletop ballet. Dora is a call to persist and to explore," says Da Corte. "The state of the world in March 2020 was an unprecedented one. A world confined to whatever place one calls 'HOME.' I was in my studio in Philadelphia then, like most days, alone. Listening to 'Dora,' I realize the lovable Latinx cartoon character (who recently celebrated her 20th anniversary) never really materializes in the song. Instead, 'Dora' becomes 'Door,' one of many clever linguistic slippages Tierra Whack employs on the song—and there is just plainly a call to explore. It was admittedly strange to think about opening doors and exploring at a time when leaving your home was a liable menace to society."
