By: Caryn Robbins Nov. 15, 2017
Cindy Wilson of the legendary B-52s has shared a video for the new song "Brother" off her soon-to-be released debut solo album CHANGE. The video was directed by the great film and video director Lance Bangs. It was shot mostly in Jeremy Ayers backyard in Athens, GA. Ayers is an Athens arts legend famous for writing the iconic song "52 Girls" from the B-52's first album. The video also feature Iron & Wine Sam Beam's old bicycle. CHANGE arrives at all music retailers and streaming services on Friday, December 1.
Wilson and her band will be performing at a Planned Parenthood benefit on December 6 at Brooklyn's Bell House. Also on the bill are guitarist extraordinaire Kaki King, stellar songwriter Amy Rigby and others. Tickets can be purchased HERE.
CHANGE is available now for pre-order at all DSPs as well as Wilson's official PledgeMusic, the latter featuring exclusive updates, content, and merchandise spanning limited edition signed colored vinyl to a private house show performed by Cindy and her band.
PRE-ORDER CHANGE VIA PLEDGEMUSIC
Billboard premiered the album's "No One Can Tell You." It is also streaming via Kill Rock Stars' official YouTube channel. "It's hard to believe this is the first solo album Wilson is putting out throughout the entirety of her career," notes Billboard, adding, "With CHANGE, Wilson was able to experiment with her own creativity and learn about music in an entirely different light. The result is something melodic, calm even, and at times fueled by disco- tinged rhythms."
LISTEN TO "NO ONE CAN TELL YOU"
CHANGE is further highlighted by the shimmering single, "Mystic," hailed by Stereogum as "an excellent slice of icy, synth-streaked new wave" in its exclusive premiere earlier this summer. "With lush synths and a funky motorik rhythm section, 'Mystic' is a celestial wave of chill," raved NPR Music. "Wilson's voice is still a tease, perfectly suited to the Gary Numan-indebted cool the band cultivates."
LISTEN TO "MYSTIC"
Known the world over as a vocalist, songwriter and founding member of the one and only B- 52s, Wilson has been touring all summer and fall with additional dates to be announced soon. The remaining confirmed dates are below. For updates and more, please see killrockstars.com.
