Our featured single this week is “Swoon” by Former Bauhaus frontman/co-founder Peter Murphy.
The song, featuring Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, serves as the second taste from his upcoming album ‘Silver Shade‘, set to arrive on May 9 via Metropolis Records. He has previously shared “Let the Flowers Grow”, his collaboration with Boy George.
Produced by Youth (Pink Floyd, Killing Joke, The Orb, Paul McCartney “The Firemen,” Faith No More, Siouxsie and the Banshees), it is the second album that the pair have worked on together since 2014’s “Lion”. A symbiotic relationship born of artistic collaboration, “Silver Shade” is, as Peter recently attested, “as powerful as any of my work to date.”
Commenting on the track Murphy said:
“I am both in the state of swoon as are my audience when witnessing my live performance. Trent Reznor cordially accepted my invitation to appear on the song, adding a welcome vibe on the second verse, as well as throughout the entire song in the form of backing vocalizing.”
