The latest track from Steve Strange marked a change of direction for the former Visage frontman, created just before his untimely death.

Strange died in February 2015 hospital in Eqypt from a heart attack aged just 55. Just months earlier, he’d completed a recording of Corrupt State, which has just been unveiled as the latest release from Steven Jones & Logan Sky.

‘Corrupt State ‘ explores states of corruption: politically, psychologically, spiritually and even digitally. The song, which features vocals from Daphne Guinness, reveals an aspect of Steve Strange few have seen before. He speaks from an unexpected perspective embodying defiant melancholy and a revolutionary tone.
