Pop provocateur Cobrah on shedding her latest skin

Since releasing her first track in 2018, Cobrah has become known for her thumping, erotic club-pop sound and matching aesthetics, littered with latex, claws, nudity and dripping black goo. Now, she’s shedding the protective provocation and stripping down to the bare minimum. Her debut album, Torn, explores more intimate, vulnerable themes, exposing a brand new Cobrah to the masses. “I think I’ve wanted to be personal for a long time, but I don’t think I’ve been brave enough to do it, because I always search for the extreme,” she says. “Like, for the Succubus EP, we did the music video for Suck, and I’m in a medical bed, full frontal naked, and there’s aliens with suction cups, putting them all over my body. But somehow getting personal feels even more extreme than that.”
