80s legend Limahl is back with his first new music in 8 years.
The Kajagoogoo star kicked off his career in 1980 in a production of Godspell and, celebrating 40 years in the industry, has released the brand new track Still In Love – his first since 2012.
“I have definitely been in the same place emotionally as our protagonist in the song,” he said in a press release.
“Dark days, unable to get out of bed with curtains staying closed, (gay love is just as painful as straight love), however, what a great feeling when u get through the other side and start learning to love yourself again.”
He continued: “I wasn’t going through this at the time of writing the song, far from it, have been blissfully happy with my lovely partner Steve for 26 years and in our ‘Civil Partnership’ for 11 years.”
Interest in Limahl’s music has soared in recent years, after Kajagoogoo’s No. 1 hit Too Shy was featured in Netflix’s Black Mirror episode Bandersnatch and American Horror Story: 1984.
His solo chart-topper Neverending Story also played a pivotal role in the third season of Netflix’s Stranger Things.
While the star’s comeback was somewhat halted due to Covid-19, tour dates and festival appearances are on the cards for 2021.
