Antony & The Johnsons
Comment:
Don't worry — you're not the first person who's gotten Antony Hegarty confused with the restless, reincarnated spirit of Nina Simone. As Lou Reed once said, "When I first heard 'Cripple and the Starfish,' I knew I was in the presence of an angel." That song was one of Antony & The Johnsons' first proper singles, a show-stopping masterpiece that revolves around windswept strings, masochistic lyrics and minor-keyed melodies. A perfect way to set the scene for the rest of Antony's career, in other words, whether we're talking about incredible collaborations with Boy George ("You Are My Sister"), CocoRosie ("Beautiful Boyz"), and Mr. Velvet Underground himself ("Fistful of Love," a debilitating cover of "Perfect Day"), or such chilling blends of darkness and light as "Hope There's Someone," "My Lady Story," and "River of Sorrow."
