Passion Play next month, and today, the artist has shared another new track from the record.
His latest single Genius of Song finds North questioning, in a fantastically meta fashion, how one should go about making a song.
He explained further in a release: I saw The
Genius of Painting in Spain. I d never heard of it but I love that idea. To me, this album looks like that, like a gaudy baroque painting. If not that, it looks like a technicolour Hollywood drama.
Kristian North Announces New Album Passion Play, Shares Fantasy
Passion Play, which arrives on April 30 via Montreal s Mothland. Fantasy comes with its own Phil Osborne-directed video, which you can watch down below. Kristian brought up the idea of capturing the times we are in, Osborne said in a statement. With the curfew in mind, we cooked up a little dystopian sci-fi style intro, a bit of dark humour which quickly transitions to a one-man disco party.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Sparks, George Michael and Roxy Music, the track finds North s channelling disco, groove and pop sensibilities, in harmony with his most analogue record to date.
