Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy and Tradition Membership singer Boy George have joined forces for a brand new music. “Let the Flowers Grow,” mentioned Murphy in a press launch, happened when he was in Spain working on a brand new album and heard a chunk of music enjoying on producer Youth’s cellphone. “It caught my ear for its melodic beauty as well as a Roy Orbison–like voice that sang the song,” he mentioned. Upon studying that it was a Boy George demo, he got here up with the model that turned “Let the Flowers Grow.” Take a pay attention under.
Boy George added, “When I heard the mix, I was satiated in every way. I have always loved Pete’s voice and his writing on this adds a beautiful darkness. The production feels very epic, like Scott Walker.”
The pair first met many years in the past, when Boy George went backstage to satisfy Howard Devoto at a Journal present that Bauhaus have been supporting. “He struck me as a super-original, self-styled 17th-century fop,” Murphy mentioned in the press launch. “The second time I met him was when we walked into the BBC to do ‘Ziggy Stardust’ on Top of the Pops where Culture Club were also making their debut on the show. George greeted me very warmly and I discovered he was a Bauhaus fan.”
