Boy George shoots music video in boxing ring - pictures

Boy George has teased the music video for his new single 'King of Everything.'

The singer has released three shots from the visual, which sees him singing in a boxing ring.






The track, which is available to download now, serves as the lead single from his first album of original material in 18 years, titled This Is What I Do.


The LP features a string of guest musicians including DJ Yoda, Kitty Durham (Kitty Daisy & Lewis), Ally McErlaine (Texas), MC Spee (Dreadzone) and Nizar Al Issa, who will perform with George's band for his live dates.


"I wanted to make a baggy album, not overproduced and I think I have achieved it," George said. "I was listening to things like Beast of Burden by The Stones, and I had my head most definitely in the '70s."

This Is What I Do was co-written by George and long-time collaborators John Themis, Kevan Frost and Richie Stevens (Soul II Soul, Tina Turner, Simply Red) and produced by Richie Stevens at London's Cowshed Studios.


"Richie's approach was very organic and he's the best drummer in the country so the feel of the record was so locked in from the start," George explained. "I was also writing from a happy place. This time, no ex-lovers to get revenge on. For me 'Bigger Than War' sums up the tone."


The new video provides an extension of the 'Do You Really Want to Hurt Me' theme.

'This Is What I Do' is out on October 27. See the completed video on youtube.
