When two legends collide

Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy and Culture Club singer Boy George have joined forces for a new song. “Let the Flowers Grow,” said Murphy in a press release, came about when he was in Spain working on a new album and heard a piece of music playing on producer Youth’s phone. “It caught my ear for its melodic beauty as well as a Roy Orbison–like voice that sang the song,” he said. Upon learning that it was a Boy George demo, he came up with the version that became “Let the Flowers Grow.”

Boy George added, “When I heard the mix, I was satiated in every way. I have always loved Pete’s voice and his writing on this adds a beautiful darkness. The production feels very epic, like Scott Walker.”
