Luvcat has released an "anniversary edition" of her track He's My Man.
The new take on the dark, dreamy love song brings in legendary punk poet Dr. John Cooper Clarke, having originated at The Northern Music Awards, where Luvcat received the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award and Dr John Cooper Clarke was honoured. She said:
"I met John a few months back at The Northern Music Awards. He was being honoured and I won breakthrough artist of the year that night. I was so afraid to speak to him... my dad was a punk and John’s work was spoken about a lot in our house. I found the courage to go over to his table and he couldn’t have been more sweet to me. I think John is the coolest man in the country and to have him play the role of my poisoned husband for the anniversary of this song is a true honour."
The video sees the pair returning to the thatched cottage in Enfield, where the original video for the track was shot. In this instance, things are notably more eerie.
Luvcat explained: "I wanted to make everything darker; riddled with the mania and paranoia of a chainsmoking housewife slowly losing her sanity through her mundane chores and obsession with her man. We were both so busy before the shoot and hadn’t actually had a chance to record the new version. So in between scenes we went to the cottage bedroom and John read me his rewritten verse from a little scribbling on a torn piece of paper. It was all very surreal and spooky. There was actually a hornet swarm when we were filming and everyone was quietly terrified, matching the unsettling atmosphere we tried to create in the song. It was very very fun to be John’s murderous mob bride for the night."
Luvcat will release her debut album, 'Vicious Delicious', through AWAL on Halloween (October 31). Singles already shared include the title track, Lipstick, Love & Money, Dinner @ Brasserie Zédel, the original recording of He's My Man, and Matador, all of which featured on her recent 'Blushing' EP.
