Pop singer Annie and artist Bjarne Melgaard slam Russia’s anti-LGBT legislation in “Russian Kiss.” Slightly NSFW sexiness ahead.
In early December, New York-based visual artist Bjarne Melgaard joined forces with Norwegian pop artist Annie to send President Putin a message concerning his anti-LGBT legislation.
The result was a song celebrating "the universal right to kiss the one you love wherever you like – regardless of sexual orientation."
The "Russian Kiss" video, produced by Richard X, was released to coincide with the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics.
In the video, same-sex couples kiss while Annie sings: “Show your love for the lovers / the others, the fighters, outsiders / people like you.”
