The producer's biting, feminist anthem now has a stylistic music video to match.

Today, Hot Press is proud to premiere Zapho's bright-lights-big-city music video for 'Fight Me'.

Ele Breslin (aka Zapho) is a 26 year-old Irish producer and singer/songwriter, whose latest video is a stunning attempt to break down the idea of binaries in gender, and life itself.

"'Fight Me' was one of the most enjoyable songs to write," Zapho says of the track. "I've been experimenting more as a producer and coming into my own style, having fun with themes and groove based instrumentation. I included a little brass section to tip my hat to the Rocky movies and the theme song, 'Eye Of The Tiger'. I made my fighter more sleazy and flashy, a rags to riches storyline about being at the top of your game."

The video, which you should watch below, is a stylistic and beautiful queer-centric offering. It was shot and directed by Willan Octave-Emile, produced by Danielle Breslin, and debuts French performer Laura Khalfi We can't wait to see what's next from Zapho.
