Black Friday this year won't have any deal as good as this two-for-one from Indochine and Christine and the Queens.
They take a song from Indochine's back catalogue and give it a 21st century revision. There's a slight change to the title - from 3e sexe to 3SEX - and a slightly more significant overhaul of the music, strippping away the very 80s stylings of the original and creating something far more contemporary.Speaking about the collaboration, Christine said: "Last April, Nicola Sirkis called me and told me about revisiting 3e sexe.
"The whole world was breathing more slowly and my heart started pounding because this song tells something that is very personal to me, something that makes me want to be free.
"Thank you Nicola for giving me the honour and the confidence to sing 3SEX with you, at a time when the very word freedom takes on all its meaning and urgency.
"Real revolutions never die."
The song originally featured on Indochine's 1985
album 3, and was widely taken as an anthem to tolerance with regard to
sexuality.
The new version of the song will feature on the
forthcoming Indochine compilation Singles Collection (1981-2001), due out on
December 11.
