Description
• Complete career collection of THE cult star of the 80’s...
Divine undoubtedly contributed to the LGBT narrative contained within pop culture. His consistently fluid (and of course lewd) representation of sexuality and gender challenged the theatrics of 1980s pop music.
Created in collaboration with ‘Pope of Trash’ film maker
John Waters, Divine was a brash, confident persona. After the success of his partnership with Waters, Divine would branch out with New York performer/producer Bobby O to launch a musical career that boasted a dizzying angle on Hi-NRG.
Divine’s first charting single ‘Native Love Step By Step’ (NL #28) remains one of his most frenetic hits. ‘Shoot Your Shot’ (DE #15/NL #7) is Bobby O’s brassy brand of club music mock-sexualised at full tilt. ‘Love
Reaction’ (UK #65) gloriously appropriates New Order’s ‘Blue Monday’.
Song writing/producing trio Stock, Aitken & Waterman continued the success of hi-NRG synthpop, giving Divine one of his biggest hits in 1984’s ‘You Think You’re a
Man’ (AUS #8/NL #32/UK #16) and ‘I’m So Beautiful’ (GER #38 / UK #52) which is perhaps most reminiscent of Divine’s earlier work with John Waters. ‘Walk Like A Man’ and ‘Twisting The Night Away’ continued the hit streak and kept Divine in the spotlight before his untimely death in 1988.
