Russian collective Pussy Riot have unveiled new single "Punish", which is co-written by Tove Lo.

"Punish" is Pussy Riot's first outing of 2022, following last year's appearance on an updated version of MARINA's "Purge The Poison", and is teamed with a Ksti Hu-directed video.

Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova says of the release, ""PUNISH" is the first audio-visual artwork from Pussy Riot's upcoming cycle that introduces a super(s)hero character who owns magic superwoman-like qualities & uses these powers to fight sexism. She's a strong dominatrix figure, and serves justice by punishing Weinsteins of the world. Talks about the vengeful shero are spreading, and now men are scared to misbehave, because they're well aware that revenge is coming."

Co-writer Tove Lo adds, "Getting to enter Nadya’s world and be a part of this project is my pussy power passion project! She’s an iconic artist with an incredible life story who goes into everything with a bigger purpose. I hope we all get to live in the Pussyverse!"

Pussy Riot's "Punish" single is out now.
