Marc Almond talks about 'Purple Zone'

Marc Almond on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show (BBC 2), interviewed by Vernon Kay 22/03/2022

The official video for Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys’ new joint single ‘Purple zone’ :

Directed by Yassa Khan, the video was filmed at The Black Prince pub in Kennington, London earlier this year. ‘Purple zone’ is a dream duet for synth-pop connoisseurs as Marc Almond’s ultra-expressive delivery intertwines with Neil Tennant’s wistful yearning. Raising its tempo, Pet Shop Boys also added a hi-NRG sheen that elevates the track’s moody melancholy, Chris Lowe’s trademark high-drama synths producing a theatrical intensity.
