The album is as bold and visionary as his best work.\n\nThe first single and album opener, \"Memory of You,\" was co-produced with Youth (Killing Joke) and features backing vocals from Holly Cook.A propulsive post-disco torch song, a neo-noir composition of lustful vocals and stylish, menacing synths, it is one of Stewart's most dramatic and haunting performances.\n\nLike much of Stewart's work, this song defies conventional wisdom and expectations.\n\n'There's a way to use a love song as a Trojan horse. \"There's a way to use love songs like a Trojan horse,\" Stewart said, \"to sugarcoat the poison and get into people's hearts. At first glance, the song is about \"If I Loved You,\" but it's really about longing and dreaming of a better world. For me, \"love\" is a political act.\n\nYouth says: \"'Memory of You' is a song about a dream.\n\nMemory of You shows that Mark was not only a great singer, but also a great songwriter.... The melody and lyrics have the timeless appeal of the Walker Brothers or a 1950s crooner, like Frank Sinatra, and yet it's cutting edge.\" (1\/2)\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
