This Is What I Do is scheduled for release on October 28th courtesy of his own record label (Very Me Records) in partnership with Kobalt Label Services (KLS).

This Is What I Do, his first new album of original material in 18 years, was written by George and longtime writing partners John Themis, Kevan Frost and Richie Stevens. The LP will also feature guest spots from DJ Yoda, Kitty Durham of Kitty Daisy & Lewis, Scottish guitarist Ally McErlaine of Texas, Dreadzone’s MC Spee and Nizar Al Issa.

“King Of Everything”, which is out now on iTunes, is about a wife-beating boxer trying to make amends with his victim. Check out the music video.

“This is the first record I have ever made and owned myself,” Boy George explained to Complete Music Update. “It’s very exciting to be a bit more in control of my work and to be doing this independently feels very liberating. Working with Kobalt adds to the excitement. I feel that I’m going to get more personal involvement from them, and have been very impressed with their work with Pet Shop Boys recently.”

The first single from This Is What I Do is “King Of Everything”. The single, which is out now on iTunes, is about a wife-beating boxer trying to make amends with his victim. It’s an absolutely beautiful song. I am not a fan of Boy George as a person, but his new music sounds fantastic!
