Following his triumphant return to the spotlight with last winter’s duet with Boy George “Let The Flowers Grow,” PETER MURPHY continues with his new single “Swoon” which is released today, February 14, 2025 via Metropolis Records.
Peter states, “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.”
Percussive and expansive, “Swoon” captures both vocalists in their glory, perfectly complementing each other’s bass-heavy tones. Produced by YOUTH (Pink Floyd, Killing Joke, The Orb, Paul McCartney “The Firemen,” Faith No More, Alien Sex Fiend, Siouxsie and the Banshees), the song is the first track to be released from Peter’s new album Silver Shade to be released on May 9, 2025. Recorded at Youth’s studio in Spain, it’s 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 he recently attested, “as powerful as any of my work to date.”
