The Knife – Let’s Talk About Gender Baby, Let’s Talk About You And Me (Planningtorock rework)
The Knife have invited Planningtorock to reinterpret ‘Full of Fire’, from the album ‘Shaking The Habitual’. Using the ‘Full of Fire’ lyric, Planningtorock went about creating a brand new track:
“Going through the tracks I pulled the awesome lyric ‘Lets Talk About Gender Baby Lets Talk About You and Me’ out from ‘Full of Fire’ and was completely moved by its groovy directness .. started recording this super fun bass line and totally went for a funky celebration feel”
The video for the single has also been directed by the Berlin based artist.
