LISTEN/WATCH & SHARE: Dexys - "I'm Going To Get Free" Stream / YouTube "Rowland — as singer and songwriter with Dexys Midnight Runners — gave us some of the great pop moments. From the bolshy vision of Searching for the Young Soul Rebels through the celtic-gumbo of Too-Rye-Ay and '85's neglected masterpiece, Don't Stand Me Down, his is a towering contribution to British music, both visually and musically."  - UNCUT Magazine "Dexys, the band who confound you with their strangeness – and then their brilliance." - The Guardian  "Dexys are one of the greatest groups to emerge from the United Kingdom and in Kevin Rowland they have one of the most intelligent songwriters and charismatic frontmen that ever graced a stage." - PopMatters "A timely reminder of Kevin Rowland’s and Dexys' impact and importance" - The Quietus Storied English pop-rock band Dexys (formerly Dexys Midnight Runners) — who are perhaps best known for their Brit Award-winning commercial smash-hit "Come On Eileen," which reached number one in 8 countries and became the best-selling single in the UK and US in 1982 — are finally returning in full swing with the announcement of their first new record of original material in over a decade, The Feminine Divine, due July 28 via 100% Records. To introduce the record, they have shared its first single, "I'm Going To Get Free," alongside an accompanying music video. Led by musician Kevin Rowland, Dexys is regarded as one of the more prominent British bands to arise in the 80s, with over 1B streams worldwide, 4.5M monthly listeners on Spotify, 49k subscribers on YouTube, and 71K followers on Facebook. Their debut album Searching For The Young Soul Rebels is widely considered one of the best albums of all time (by outlets such as BBC, The Guardian, The Quietus, and Uncut), and their subsequent album Too-Rye-Ay is multi-platinum in the UK and Australia and charted in the top 20 in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. Their music has appeared on the soundtracks of countless TV shows and films including High Fidelity (TV), The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Jane The Virgin, What We Do In The Shadows, Preachers, Superstore, Firefly Lane, and Get Him To The Greek. The Feminine Divine is Dexys’ fifth album of original material produced once again by Pete Schwier, along with acclaimed session musician and producer Toby Chapman. After taking some time out to refocus his energy, Kevin Rowland came back to music with a fresh perspective and new-found positivity. A personal, if not strictly autobiographical, record portraying a man whose views have evolved over time. Not just on women, but the whole concept of masculinity he had been raised with: an education and an un-learning that is traced across the arc of The Feminine Divine with dizzying effect. Stay tuned for The Feminine Divine, out this July via 100% Records. Dexys - "I'm Going To Get Free" [OFFICIAL VIDEO] DEXYS LINKS Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTok
