Listen to Mannequin Pussy’s ace new single I Got Heaven – and get ready for “more on the way soon” apparently…
Mannequin Pussy have shared a powerful new single, I Got Heaven.
The band – Colins ‘Bear’ Regisford, Kaleen Reading, Maxine Steen and Marisa Dabice – have given fans their first taste of new material since 2021 EP Perfect, with a press release also promising that there’s ‘more on the way soon’.
Speaking about this new tune in particular, Marisa explains: “I Got Heaven is a song intended to merge the sacred and the profane and to serve as a reminder that we are all perfect exactly as we have been made and that no-one gets to decide how a life should or should not be lived.
“Heaven is here on a planet that gave us everything we needed to survive. Heaven is in the plants and in the water and in the animals who we share this world with. Heaven is inside of me and inside of you. The weaponisation of Christianity for political means, for individual profit and power, as a tool to intentionally divide us is one of the greatest threats to our modern world and a threat to our ability to find solidarity through love.
“To allow the hatred and the violence and the noise to rise is to reject our sacred purpose as individuals, which is simply to love.”
