Bronski Beat’s “Smalltown Boy” turned 40 this week. Released on May 25th, 1984, the haunting electro-pop track became an instant gay anthem of LGBTQ+ liberation as it detailed the experience of many queers who left their repressive towns for life in the big city.
To celebrate the iconic single and video’s 40th anniversary, London Records released a new reworked version by London-based DJ and producer ABSOLUTE (a.k.a. Ant McGinley), known for his past remixes of Kylie Minogue’s “Padam Padam” and Fever Ray’s “Shiver.” The reworked single is set to the original video and is as powerful as ever.
