Calling Marilyn’s name again

Eighties icon Marilyn has cracked open a fresh bottle of peroxide in
anticipation of his pop comeback. The star, real name Peter Robinson, hasn’t
released music since 2003 but he returns with new reggae single Love Or
Money on 23 September – a track co-written and produced by his old New
Romantic sparring partner, Boy George.Marilyn explains: “It was the fi rst song George and I wrote/recorded together in
the studio, earlier this year. It came about so organically and it was George who
suggested going back to my roots, sonically – taking inspiration from the rhythms
of the islands that soundtracked my childhood. I was born in Jamaica and spent
the early years of my life there… I have dual English/Jamaican citizenship. Reggae
has been a huge infl uence, but I’d never thought to incorporate it in to my own
music before.” Love Or Money arrives via Marilyn’s own label Mmm.music through
RightTrack/Universal.
