Kate Pierson found international acclaim and musical success as part of unshakeably cool new wave icons The B-52s, going on to release her debut solo album in 2015, dubbed Guitars and Microphones. Near ten years on, the pop icon returns with long-awaited follow-up Radios and Rainbows arriving on September 20th. Kate gives us the first taste of the album, slinky pop number Evil Love which showcases her unmistakable vocal charisma.
On her new single Evil Love, Kate shared: “Sometimes evil love is the only love you need. A not so true tale of obsessive possessiveness and righteous revenge. I started out writing a song with the amazing Bleu McCauley with the idea of a song about forgiveness; but when our creative chemistries collided, the result was a noir thriller of a song set on the coast of Maine. And it’s one hell of a storm – so hang onto your hats for Evil Love!”
Describing what can be expected from the full album, the new wave legend shared: “It’s an eclectic group of songs – anthems, dance things, a disco song… Overall, the album has an upbeat vibe because I wanted to put out something positive in these dark times. I wanted to make it fun!”
