"In "FAN," Bambi infuses self-irony and humour, reflecting on the struggles faced while performing in venues that often lack basic comforts, like a fan to cool off from the heat of the spotlight. With a playful nod to their extravagant costumes, Bambi quips about the sauna-like conditions brought on by wearing heavy outfits in high temperatures, "self-made suffering," they jest."
"Bambi Mercury, known as one of Berlin's most exciting drag artists, has just released their debut autobiographical single titled "FAN," in collaboration with the talented drag DJ, Lara Liqeur. The track takes inspiration from the campy trash style reminiscent of Alaska Thunderfuck's music from years past. The song is not just a personal story but also an anthem designed for fun and dance. Bambi aims to create a lively atmosphere that encourages listeners to move and enjoy themselves."
Bambi Mercury released a debut autobiographical single titled "FAN" in collaboration with drag DJ Lara Liqeur, drawing on a campy trash sound reminiscent of Alaska Thunderfuck. The track uses self-irony and humour to describe performing in venues that lack basic comforts, notably the absence of a fan, and the sauna-like conditions caused by heavy, extravagant costumes — "self-made suffering." The song functions as a dance anthem intended to create a lively party atmosphere and encourage movement. Bambi expresses gratitude for Lara's creative input in capturing many aspects of persona and signals more projects and creative exploration ahead, while maintaining a distinctive drag identity apart from mainstream representations.
