Free MP3 Download: Chicane "Hiding All The Stars" (Michael Woods Remix)
The boys and girl from British dance-pop trio Chicane sure know how to stir up a little controversy. The video for their last single "Poppiholla" had people wondering and making judgments about the storyline until the very last second. Now, the video and sleeve for their new single, titled "Hiding All The Stars," are creating similar misconceptions and discussions.
Inspired by the 2012 Olympic committee's decision to allow female boxing to be included in the Games, Chicane's singer Tash Andrews decided to play the role of glamazon turned boxer in the video for "Hiding All The Stars."
The video ignited a heated discussion on BBC's popular OneShow where some were incensed by the sexist idea of the 'last bastion of maleness' being infiltrated. A well-known British feminist initially was against the inclusion of female boxers as well, but after spending some time with them she saw how empowering it was and she shocked herself by realizing it could be a good thing. Watch the video for Chicane "Hiding All The Stars" on Chicane's web site (in the "Music" section).
The pop-trancetastic "Hiding All The Stars" will be released in Europe on October 19. Download an exclusive remix that Michael Woods produced of the song. Totally guilt-free.
