“Personal Shopper” is the Elton John-featuring electronic tour de force at the heart of Steven Wilson’s recently released sixth album. Now the track has been remixed by the mighty Nile Rodgers who adds a Chic-esque rhythm guitar before pulling completely new shapes out of the track, effortlessly melding NYC disco to European electro-pop. 

Steven Wilson: “You can probably tell from ‘Personal Shopper’ that I grew up hearing a lot of disco music played in the Wilson house, including the classic Chic masterpieces, so it’s an absolute thrill to have Nile stamp his legendary signature sound on the track."

“Personal Shopper” (Nile Rodgers remix) is online now everywhere. The original track features on Steven Wilson’s sixth album, The Future Bites, which was released to huge acclaim in January.

The second series of Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness’ podcast series The Album Years is currently running on all the usual streaming services. Each episode takes a different year and delves into album releases that helped shape Steven and Tim’s listening habits. As the tagline says, “music is finite, opinions are endless”. 

PRAISE FOR THE FUTURE BITES

“One of the greatest musical talents to emerge from the UK in the past three decades… Wilson’s strongest outing to date” - Record Collector 

“OK Computer for the Amazon age... one of the boldest and best albums Wilson has made” - Prog 

"Wilson always was a sharp songwriter and has adeptly channelled what could be unwieldy concepts into bite-size, polished pop. Not prog, but always progress" - The Guardian 4* 

“A great, grown-up pop record - knowing and self-aware, but never too much for its own good” - Mojo 4* 

"It is Wilson's most varied, least guitar driven album to date. If that dismays fans who came to him through the alienated-yet-epic rock of Porcupine Tree, so be it" - The Times

Recently, Mike Edel shared his take on Coldplay’s “Don’t Panic”, the first installment in a series of covers from the acclaimed West Coast songwriter. Today, he’s ready to share the second cover, Sarah McLachlan’s classic “Building A Mystery”.

“Although I wasn't a die-hard Sarah McLachlan fan, whenever I heard the ethereal and emotional qualities of ‘Building A Mystery’ it always intrigued me,” says Edel. “For me it's usually the emotional and sonic qualities of a song that catch me first and the rest of it later. After getting deep into the lyrics I enjoy that it's calling out the fake and the shallow; I like doing that in my songs. So this one goes out to the influencers.”
