Perverts d’Ethel Cain
Like Lizzy Grant shaping Lana del Rey to invent herself to match her ambition, Hayden Anhedönia sees herself as the architect of Ethel Cain. With the difference that the Floridian raised in the hysterical Baptist faith, emancipated at the time of changing gender, treats her alter ego less as a spectacular double than a receptacle for her dark side, “a tumor” which she would have chosen not to get rid of in order to follow her to the end of her perdition. Generation Z has long made her an idol, a tortured counterpart to Swift and Co., and we can’t wait to see how she will lose herself in this terribly murky and inventive record.
Gildaa and concert
The singer and composer delivers exalted music, inspired by her mystical experiences. She is performing at the Centquatre and the Rond-Point theater this month.
