Interview: Jimmy Somerville Discos Back Into Our Hearts

Jimmy Somerville of Bronski Beat, The Communards and solo fame is back with a new album dropping Friday, March 6th. Homage is all disco and all brand new music. This gay icons distinguished voice and style really shine through in his new album. We hope he tours soon!

Jimmy Somerville’s Homage

Earle Dutton: Are you excited about the new album? Jimmy Somerville: Yes it’s something completely different. It is a whole new place to be musically. It is really exciting.

ED: There is so much new music and electronica. What made you decide to do a disco album? JS: I guess because I’ve done some of my own interpretations and covers of so many disco songs. I’ve taken them out of their own context and put them in mine. I just kind of put them in a gay context or more politically gay friendly context. So with this album I really wanted to explore the genre and the whole process of making such an album. I wanted to stick as close as possible to the way it would’ve originally been done so there are no electronics and no synthesizers. The entire album is all acoustic and real. It was a really great experience.

ED: I have loved your music with The Communards, Bronski Beat and as a solo artist. I am not sure all of our readers have followed you that long. What would you like to tell them that you have been up to all of these years since your last album? JS: You know, living my life and getting along with stuff. I’ve still been creating music just more low-key. I would produce stuff but I wouldn’t really think about promoting it or doing anything around it. I kind of elected to just let them have a life of their own. This project was so different and so special that I decided to promote it and put it out there and to do all the things necessary to get people to be aware of it and listen to it. I think it’s a great album.

ED: Do you have a favorite song on the album? JS: No. I don’t really pick favorites because everything changes every day, especially music. I just love music so much. Often I’ll fall in love with a song for just the day and that will be the song of the day or maybe even longer. Then I’ll discover something else and love that. All of them get some love and attention at some point (laughter).

ED: What is your process? How do you personally choose what songs go on an album? JS: This process was really different. We just started arranging the songs and it just became apparent that they were working really well together. It was all about getting excited about the music. It was a process of really connecting to each track. (Video below for “Travesty” the first single from Homage )

ED: I know that this album is just coming out, but do you have a new album or project in mind? JS: I’ve already written the songs for the next album and they are just waiting to go. It is very interesting because this next album is similar but completely different from this one. It almost seems like a genre of music that would’ve come before disco. It is more paired down. It is all acoustic and really going back to basics. It has been an interesting process. I think I’m really reconnecting to all the sounds that I really loved, that for some reason I’ve always managed to pass by. I am really indulging in it and exploring them and myself. I’m discovering my real musical roots. It’s late in the day but it is better late than never.

ED: Are you going to tour America? JS: I would love to do some live stuff. The great thing about this genre is its flexibility. You can have a big band or a small one because it’s all about the live experience, the acoustic experience. You can take a couple of horns and a couple of strings and do it any way you want. The production of this album was all about the energy, talent and love that everyone put in it. The musicians really gave it a life of its own. It was a really exciting experience.

ED: How do you think this tour would differ from a Bronski Beat or Communards tour? JS: It would be very different because I’m not 26 years old any more (laughter). I have a lot more life experience behind my vocal cords now. I’ve a much more relaxed and stronger understanding of who I am and where my gifts are with my voice. I feel a stronger connection to it than I ever did before. It’s a different time, place and a very different me. I have the same energy, the same passionate belief and the same conviction as before though.

ED: Was it a surprise when Richard Coles your partner in The Communards became a priest? JS: At the time I was pretty much (umm) okay. I didn’t know Richard well enough to realize how dark or desperate it gotten for him. He changed his life and it sort of saved him and brought him back from the brink. If becoming a priest is what did it for him, then thank God for that because it saved his life. That is the most important thing. I don’t really think about it that much anymore. At the time, I was very angry and rallied against it. It didn’t fit into my beliefs at the time.

ED: How does it feel to have your hit song “Smalltown Boy” still be so lyrically relevant after 30 years? JS: I’m so proud. It really is more than just a song. I think people get a real heartfelt and genuine connection from it. It taps into people’s emotional state. I get a lot of letters and comments from people stating how it changed their life or got them through some tough situation. It is a lot more than just saying I love that song and I used to dance that song. To be a part of the group that created the song is amazing. It has not been my song for really long time it is in its own universe and sending out love. That is how I see it. (Video below for “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat)

ED: You are known for doing some really amazing covers. Do you currently have a favorite? JS: Not really, sometimes when I’m singing one I may connect with it more than others. (Laughter) There was a period that whenever I sang “Never Can Say Goodbye” I would think that I wish the song would just go fuck off (laughter). Then a little while later I would connect with the melody again and really love singing it. It just comes and goes like everything we do. There have been some real ups and downs with me. Some of the songs have seen me at my very lowest and even at my highest points. They have seen me through a lot of things. Some of them are really more than songs. I have really always loved singing the beginning of “Mighty Real”. When I perform it live, I take the epilogue version from album and do a 30 or 40 second really slow and spiritual intro. Then I carry on the really long note and just blow your ears off.

ED: Were your musical influence is growing up? JS: Wow, they are so varied. I grew up with lots of music and a hunger for new music. I wanted to listen to anything and everything. A really cool and cherished thing that I just bought is the 12 inch pink vinyl version of Dolly Parton’s “Baby I’m Burnin’”. On the sleeve is Dolly Parton on the swing and it says ‘Disco with Dolly’. It really couldn’t get any better. As a kid I listened to: Dolly Parton; Connie Francis; Peggy Lee; Nina Simone; Nina Hagen; David Burns; Donna Summers; Sylvester; The Temptations; Diana Ross; Tony Bennett; Bill Haley & the Comets; and everything in between. Strangely enough, I’ve never really been a fan of Elvis Presley or the Beatles. I don’t really know why.

ED: What are your thoughts about marriage equality spreading across Europe? JS: I think marriage equality is a basic right that everyone is entitled. If you’re in a democracy then you should have the same rights as everyone else in that democracy. You should not be discriminated against because of the color of your skin color, sexuality or gender. I can’t believe we still live in democracies where people are discriminated against.

ED: Do you have a message you’d like to send out to LGBTQ youth? JS: Life is hard. I can’t even pretend to tell you that there is a yellow brick road, because there is no fucking yellow brick road. It is really about your journey and believing in yourself. It is about doing the right thing and being honest. It’s also about finding out who you are. I think it really helps to reach out and connect with people similar to yourself to become a stronger voice. I really think that can help you survive and thrive.

Keep up with Jimmy Somerville!

Pop Icon Jimmy Somerville: A Career Overview

The former Bronski Beat and Communards singer is a pioneer in socially conscious dance music. We look back at his important and influential career.

If there is a pantheon of important figures in groundbreaking 1980s New Wave synth-pop, Scottish singer Jimmy Somerville is solidly in it. More than just a sharp lyricist with a bell-clear falsetto, Somerville fronted two of the most successful dance-pop acts of the era, Bronski Beat and the Communards, before kicking off a successful solo career. He was a brazenly gay provocateur at a time when the sociopolitical climates both at home in in the United Kingdom and here in the United States were stridently homophobic. What other artist can count among his greatest hits a handful of songs that not only made a generation hit the dance floor but also raised its consciousness?

Last year's 30th anniversary rerelease of Bronski Beat's classic "Smalltown Boy" reminds listeners that the song (and its powerful video) shone a light on issues like family rejection, community bias, bullying, and isolation decades before Glee and Macklemore. Remarkably, it shot to the number 3 spot on the U.K. singles chart. Here is Somerville last summer performing a stripped-down version of the classic:

This week Somerville releases his sixth solo album, Homage, in which he pays tribute to the disco era that has long inspired him. Opting to ditch the synthesizers, this time around Somerville sings in front of live musicians. He recently told the press he feels he's made the album he would have wanted to hear as a teenager. Listen to the deliciously retro horn blasts and sweeping strings of "Travesty" and experience the same joy our Studio 54-fathers did as they boogied on the dance floor:

Of course, Somerville's love affair with disco goes back decades, and in that too he was a bit of a rabble-rouser. The singer's string of hit disco covers came at a time when music critics were happy to have disco dead and buried. In fact, during the 1980s critics were so busy skewering New Wave synth-pop artists, they had all but forgotten disco. The two genres were at that time equally maligned by the macho rock establishment. Leave it to Somerville, already an openly gay New Wave chart -opper, to further thumb his nose at them by sashaying away as he belted out songs made famous by Donna Summer, Thelma Houston, and gay disco superstar Sylvester.

Let's look at a handful of highlights from Somerville's groundbreaking career:

1980: Somerville leaves his native Glasgow and moves to London.

1984: In its classic line-up, Bronski Beat, featuring Somerville and keyboardists Steve Bronski and Larry Steinbachek, releases the daring album The Age of Consent. Album art prominently features the pink triangle, which had become an LGBT movement's symbol, and its inside sleeve lists the legal age of consent for homosexual acts in several countries across Europe. The album soars up the British charts, scoring hits with a trio of now classic synth-pop hits, "Smalltown Boy," a cover of Summer's "I Feel Love," and the early LGBT anthem "Why?" That peppy number finds Somerville singing about gay harassment, but its chorus is a proud call to arms: "You and me together, fighting for our love." (Bonus points for the wacky video in which Somerville, dressed as a deli worker, sings about kissing another man's lips while standing amid dangling sausages. So much for subtlety!)

1985: Somerville launches the Communards with gay keyboardist Richard Coles (who would go on to become a Church of England priest and a beloved BBC host). Somerville, ever the provocateur, chooses a band name, during the Western Bloc's tense Cold War with the Soviet Union, that sounds an awful lot like "Communists." (It's actually named for the same 19th-century French socialist revolutionaries who inspired Karl Marx.) The band's album and singles artwork are cribbed from vintage Communist Party propaganda posters, and, if that's not enough, the second album is titled Red. Yet, the hits are focused 100 percent on the dance floor and the group scores big with a cover of the Jackson 5 by way of- Gloria Gaynor classic "Never Can Say Goodbye" as well as "Don't Leave Me This Way," originally recorded by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, though, of course, Somerville opts to revisit the 1977 Thelma Houston disco version.

1989: Somerville releases Read My Lips, his first solo album, racking up another hit with a cover of Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)." He stretches out a bit more with a cover of "Comment Te Dire Adieu" by legendary French chanteuse Francoise Hardy.

1990: Somerville contributes a sublime over of Cole Porter's "From This Moment On" to the Red, Hot + Blue compilation. The album was one of the first major AIDS benefits in the music industry.

1995: Somerville releases Dare to Love, featuring "Heartbeat," which soars to the number 1 spot on the U.S. dance chart.

2009: Somerville releases Suddenly Last Summer, an album of acoustic interpretations of songs by artists as diverse as Burt Bacharach, Blondie, the Doors, and Deep Purple.

2015: Somerville releases Homage , an album that meticulously re-creates the authentic 1970s sound of the disco era. No synths this time around. Shimmering funk guitar meets bona fide strings and horns. Somerville also leaves the covers behind, instead writing Homage' s 12 originals, to create what he says is "the disco album I always wanted to make." Enjoy the funky "Taken Away."

• Quotes [in 1988] The way that the media has really treated people who die from AIDS is either they're kind of like seen as junkies, or just like queers, or people who are actually outside. It's never actually seen as like people who are actually just like people, human beings. It's not just statistics and figures, it's actually people who are dying. People who have friends and relationships and they do the same everyday things that everyone else does.
