Magdalene, the self-proclaimed pop star for the freaks, is turning heads and upending the pop-rock scene with her explosive new single, DJesus. Already going viral on TikTok, the track is a striking fusion of confessional lyrics, religious allegory, and rave-ready energy that evokes the early boldness of Lady Gaga.
Co-written and produced by Slushpuppy (KATSEYE, Cortis, Snow Wife) and Dylan Harrison (ADÉLA), DJesus is a biting commentary on the cult-like nature of conservative Christianity in America. Magdalene describes the music video as a darkly cinematic experience: “I play DJesus, a powerful being whose hypnosis is unleashed when her eyes are uncovered, leading her followers into a religious psychosis possession. Set in a Southwestern small town trailer park, DJesus leads lost and lonely souls into her devious grip.”
The accompanying music video features a cameo from Snow Wife and is directed by Mitch deQuilettes (ADÉLA). The visuals immerse viewers in a world of Southwestern glamour and mediocrity, where Magdalene’s theatrical presence turns the trailer park into a prophetic altar. Critics and fans alike are taking notice, cementing DJesus as a defining moment in Magdalene’s rise to stardom.
Magdalene’s ascent has already earned high-profile endorsements from Model/Actriz, Current Joys, Surf Curse, and former PAPER editor-in-chief Justin Moran. Following her previous standout release, Lucky Girl, which landed her on the cover of Spotify’s Fresh Finds Pop playlist, Magdalene continues to solidify her reputation as the pop star for the freaks.
Hailing from New Mexico, Magdalene draws inspiration from her desert roots, transforming the unhinged landscape of her childhood into high-concept pop. Her music merges abrasive textures with infectious melodies, bridging the gap between mainstream accessibility and alternative experimentation.
