The B-52s‘ Kate Pierson has announced new solo album, Radios & Rainbows, which will be out September 20 via SVR. The album features contributions from Sia, Chris Braide, Madonna collaborator Jimmy Harry, Tim Andersen (Ima Robot), Bleu McAuley, and Adele collaborator Sam Dixon. “It’s an eclectic group of songs,” says Pierson, “anthems, dance things, a disco song…overall, the album has an upbeat vibe because I wanted to put out something positive in these dark times. I wanted to make it fun!”
The album includes last year’s “Every Day is Halloween” (co-written by Sia) and she’s just shared “Evil Love,” which has a ’60s soul vibe. “Sometimes evil love is the only love you need,” Kate says, who calls the song “A not so true tale of obsessive possessiveness and righteous revenge.” She adds, “I started out writing a song with the amazing Bleu McAuley with the idea of a song about forgiveness; but when our creative chemistries collided, the result was a noir thriller of a song set on the coast of Maine. And it’s one hell of a storm.”
