Eat This Song of the Day: “Pariah” by Katherine Aly

Following on from the releases of “Glow & Ignite“, Edinburgh-based artist Katherine Aly has returned with her new single “Pariah”, a song that sees Katherine touch on many personal horrible connotations: race, slurs, homophobia, just to name a few.

Pariah is a song for the end of prejudice and inequity that celebrates people coming together with intolerance for intolerance; it’s a song that fiercely points the finger at those who manipulate and discriminate against others while euphorically radiating a feeling of liberation.

“We managed to gather a diverse group of people in terms of their gender, age and ethnicity, and body type, who shared personal stories of being discriminated against,” Katherine says on the release of the music video. “Using body paint, we wrote hurtful and insulting things that have been addressed to them, because of their identity. As the video progresses, they rub the words off of their bodies, as a symbolic gesture of erasing stigma, bigotry, and hatred.”
