“Women of the World” - Fierbinteanu

Electro-punk duo Fierbinteanu aren’t exactly known for subtlety, and thank goodness for that. Their new single and video “Women of the World” is a riotous celebration of joyful womanhood, delivered with the kind of chaotic charisma that makes you grin, flinch, and dance all at once. Released September 12, the track is a hypnotic hyper-pop thumper that takes their avant-garde pop instincts and cranks them into something both danceable and defiantly unhinged.
The music video, filmed earlier this year in Lokeren, Belgium, stars the superb Jennifer Gee and Els Verwilgen, who embody the song’s playful ferocity with every movement. The whole thing feels like a carnival: anarchic, theatrical, and deliberately excessive.
At the core of the track is Gabriela’s powerhouse vocal delivery, ricocheting between riot-punk defiance and glitter-soaked theatricality. Cristian Fierbinteanu’s production anchors the madness with bass-heavy drive and electronic chaos that somehow, impossibly, stays catchy. Together, they’ve concocted something that feels like Peaches at a rave, Björk at a protest, or Le Tigre if they’d been raised on European art festivals.
Thematically, “Women of the World” isn’t about lecturing or preaching — it’s about celebrating. The song doesn’t flatten femininity into something overly delicate or symbolic; it revels in its multiplicity: funny, feral, glamorous. It’s the kind of anthem that feels like it could soundtrack a runway, a riot, and a basement party, all in the same night.

What makes Fierbinteanu special — and this track exemplifies it — is how they blur the line between art project and pop song. Yes, they’re avant-garde, rooted in experimental sound and theatrical performance. But they’re also not afraid to make it fun, to let the chorus stick in your head, to let the visuals dazzle instead of intimidate. This is art you can dance to, and punk that winks while it bites.
The duo’s trajectory has been anything but ordinary — from Bucharest to Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Reykjavik, and now Brussels, where they’re cooking up their future intergalactic velvet entertainment album. Along the way, they’ve turned their live acts into multidisciplinary experiences (Perfect World of Love), earned accolades for experimental audio-drama (The Political Music Show), and built a reputation for visuals that are as wild as their sound.
With “Women of the World,” Fierbinteanu channel all of that experience into a piece that feels both celebratory and confrontational. It’s loud, it’s joyful, it’s messy in the best way. And it makes one thing very clear: the future of pop doesn’t belong to perfection — it belongs to chaos, charisma, and artists brave enough to sound like nobody else.
So crank it up, dance a little recklessly, and let Fierbinteanu remind you that joy itself can be radical.
