This Friday brings the release of the new single from two artists who have certainly made massive waves in their respective galaxies. Not only is DAVID J (BAUHAUS, LOVE AND ROCKETS) massively prolific, but his music is constantly excellent. Now he joins actress, social / women’s / human rights activist ROSE McGOWAN for the single ‘The Auteur (Redux / The Starlet’s Cut)’. This track concerns sexual harrassment in the arts and entertainment industry, quite timely given that this week, a key investigator for Harvey Weinstein gave her first pubic interview regarding sexual allegations against the Hollywood mogul, noting “He wasn’t a monster then”. McGowan responded with the tweet “Welcome to my life”.
In 2017, Time Magazine recognized McGowan as one of the Silence Breakers, the magazine’s Person of the Year, for speaking out about sexual assault and harassment. In January 2018, McGowan released her memoir ‘Brave’, in which she details her childhood and her account of the assault by Harvey Weinstein and its aftermath. The four-part documentary series ‘Citizen Rose’ was released soon after, focusing on McGowan and her role in the #MeToo movement. That same year, McGowan received the Inspiration Award at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards.
