Daily electricity to load your batteries

28 October 2023

Artist: MARC VALENTINE
Who: Flamboyant British singer-songwriter who
released his debut album Future Obscure last year.

New single: SKELETON KEY

The B-side is a cover version of The Shirelles’ No 1 US hit
Will You Love Me Tomorrow from 1960. Available as a download
and a limited-edition coloured vinyl 7” with picture sleeve. Buy here

Valentine: “When the idea for Skeleton Key came to me, I was imagining the colours and dialogue of a suspenseful opening scene from a late ’60s Hammer horror film. It’s a song about discovering the darker side of someone and the futile attempt to escape the emotional powers that can unlock everything – though, as usual, there’s a dash of dark humour.”

TUTV: Fast forward from the start. Skeleton Key speeds with electrical panache
caused by ignited guitars producing a tsunami of reckless riffs. Sounds like glam
pop punk turmoil to my eager ears. A head-twisting and hair-rising bolide.

Add tense drumming, Valentine‘s frisky vocals and the cutting chorus, and you know
this zippy tune will play on your headphones more than once and as it’s about discovering the dark side of someone – remember Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, you definitely need to add it to your Halloween playlist.
