Luvcat has released a sinister new version of ‘He’s My Man’ featuring Dr John Cooper Clarke

Luvcat has collaborated with Dr John Cooper Clarke for an anniversary edition of her single ‘He’s My Man’.

The collaboration was born at The Northern Music Awards, where Luvcat received the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award and Dr John Cooper Clarke was honoured.

Reflecting on their meeting, Luvcat said, “I met John a few months back at The Northern Music Awards. He was being honoured and I won breakthrough artist of the year that night. I was so afraid to speak to him.. my dad was a punk and John’s work was spoken about a lot in our house. I found the courage to go over to his table and he couldn’t have been more sweet to me. I think John is the coolest man in the country and to have him play the role of my poisoned husband for the anniversary of this song is a true honour.”

The video for ‘He’s My Man (The Anniversary)’ revisits the thatched cottage in Enfield where the original video was filmed, now with a darker, more sinister atmosphere.

Luvcat explained, “I wanted to make everything darker; riddled with the mania and paranoia of a chainsmoking housewife slowly losing her sanity through her mundane chores and obsession with her man.

“We were both so busy before the shoot and hadn’t actually had a chance to record the new version. So in between scenes we went to the cottage bedroom and John read me his rewritten verse from a little scribbling on a torn piece of paper. It was all very surreal and spooky.

“There was actually a hornet swarm when we were filming and everyone was quietly terrified, matching the unsettling atmosphere we tried to create in the song. It was very very fun to be John’s murderous mob bride for the night.”
