(New York, NY)\u00a0 July 12, 2019 — London Records recording artists, Shakespears Sister have reunited as a band after a 26 year falling out between creative collaborators Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit.<\/p>\n

\n

The reunited powerhouse duo will release a new record, \u2018Singles Party\u2019 (London Records) on July 19, 2019, which will include two new tracks, \u201cAll the Queens\u2019 Horses\u201d and \u201cC U Next Tuesday\u201d as well as classic hits from their back catalog.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018Singles Party\u2019 is made up of Shakespears Sister singles, including \u2018Stay\u2019, \u2018You\u2019re History\u2019, \u2018Hello (Turn Your Radio On)\u2019, and \u2018I Don\u2019t Care\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n

In addition, Shakespears Sister today launched a new, three-part podcast, Ride Again: The Shakespears Sister Story.\u00a0 Narrated by Kate Hutchinson the podcast explores the band\u2019s history as one of music\u2019s most subversive duos, their iconic number one single Stay, how they eventually fell apart in the early 90s \u2013 and then came back together, with brand new music, after 26 years.<\/p>\n

\n

Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit talk candidly about exploring female stereotypes in music, their fight for authenticity and their fight with each other, as well as how Americana and Nick Cave have helped shape their new sound.\u00a0The series features three episodes Beginnings, Back Together and Staying Power & Evolution and will be released each Thursday for the next three weeks.<\/p>\n

\n

Siobhan told Dazed<\/a>: “…[we are] A magical combination. Marcy brings her rock\u2019n\u2019roll roots, and I bring the weird, diverse, art school ideas that come with being a product of London during a certain era.” She continued, \u201cI realized that Marcy is the perfect writing partner for me. We have some sort of weird fusion of energies, that feels fated. It just feels good to be back together. It\u2019s like this third entity exists that is neither me nor her, it’s the two of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Marcy said, \u201cI think we’ve come to a point where we respect and understand each other more than we ever could have back then. It\u2019s just about acceptance – acceptance of who we both are, for each other and to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

In true Yin\/Yang fashion, the two creative forces came together not only on record but in the visual explanation of this journey for the video for \u2018All the Queens\u2019 Horses\u2019 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fg8mVXmmmFs<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

NME<\/a> wrote: “…they\u2019ve returned with a lush new Morricone-influenced single which is about a doomed love affair \u2013 yet the lyrics (\u2018All the queen\u2019s horses\/ All the queen\u2019s men\/They couldn\u2019t put us back together again\u2019) can also be viewed as about the pair\u2019s chequered history. It\u2019s a nudge-wink that\u2019s highlighted in the video which depicts their initial meeting as a Mexican stand-off and features a plethora of nods to the iconic \u2018Stay\u2019 promo.”<\/p>\n

\n

The video was directed by renowned creator, Sophie Muller who took this on as a passion project.\u00a0 Sophie shares a personal relationship with Shakespears Sister and wanted to give this reconciliation the breadth and weight it deserved. The video, shot in Joshua Tree is a powerful representation of the true meaning of forgiveness, redemption, and deep friendship.<\/p>\n

\n

The deluxe version of their album features another unreleased track \u2018Cat Worship\u2019 and remixes of \u2018You\u2019re History\u2019 and \u2018You Made Me Come To This\u2019 remixed by Catz \u2018n Dogz and HMD Pulsatron respectively.<\/p>\n

\n

The reunited duo will also do select dates in the UK including a night at the iconic London Palladium in the fall and will spend the balance of the summer promoting the record in the US with visits planned to NYC in early August as well as select events in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n

A new EP is also planned for a fall release with new original tracks.<\/p>\n
