Poly Styrene – the unforgettable frontwoman and iconic face of the seminal band X-ray Spex – has announced her new single ‘Virtual Boyfriend’.
Poly Syrene’s eagerly anticipated solo album ‘Generation Indigo’ is fast approaching (due March 28th). Produced by Youth (The Verve, Killing Joke, The Fireman, Edwyn Collins), the record showcases Poly’s humorous musings on pop culture, the internet and fashion whilst also tackling heavier subject matter (war and racism) with her politically aware and intelligent lyrics. X-ray Spex may have only been around for a couple of years but their star shone brightly.
Poly Styrene’s return is highly anticipated, she remains a genuine icon and one of the premier influences on the Riot Grrrl and Britpop scenes. Currently, a new set of young American bands like the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs and The Gossip and countless others recognise her fiery, irrepressible presence. With her great self-styled image, brilliantly sharp lyrics and powerful presence, Poly’s indomitable spirit still inspires.
