It’s the musician first new music from the forthcoming EP Fever Dreams Pt 1 out on 15th October via BMG, which is a portion of an upcoming double album with the same name.
New single “fusing the language of soul music with his roots as a ‘Mancunian glam rocker’, lyrics that could be simultaneously personal and universal, with a high energy electro sound”.
Marr commented in a statement: “Spirit, Power and Soul is a kind of mission statement. I had an idea about an electro sound with gospel feeling, in my own words… an electro soul anthem.”
Watch the new single below.
“The new EP reflects Marr’s multifaceted past but takes his music somewhere startlingly new” shared the press. It will come digitally and on limited edition 12″ silver vinyl. You can pre-order the EP here.
