It's hard to imagine someone more different to Donald Trump than Magdelaine Lavirgin, the fictional persona Wellington producer Estère has strode into on her new track Ambition.
Lavirgin - a young, bare-footed prostitute, and a woman of colour with dark, curly hair - is the polar opposite of the president-elect. Released last week alongside a stunning video, the track chronicles Lavirgin's desire to disrupt the political hegemony with a strong feminist statement - to take the Oval Office.
"Magdelaine Lavirgin, bordello resident, wanted to be the United States President... A voice of the people, an advocate of equal rights for everyone. A candidate peculiar to represent the future, hijack the election."
It's a direct political statement most musicians steer clear of, but its message - delivered towards a man who has tried to strip the dignity from minorities on countless occasions - could not be timelier.
Speaking to NZME, Estère Dalton, who has just returned from a five-month tour of Africa, Asia and Europe, said the concept and character behind Ambition came to her in the shower "in a package of its own".
