(The Late) David Turpin joins forces with legendary drag artiste, Veda, on 'Burn Everything', which interpolates (great word!) part of 'When I Am Laid In Earth', the most famous aria from Purcell's seventeenth-century opera Dido and Aeneas.
We're also hearing bits of Scott Walker, Ennio Morricone and 007 composer John Barry in there. Indeed, if Billie Eilish hadn't already been given the No Time To Die gig, we'd have passed David's number on to Barbara Broccoli.
"Normally, on my own records, I write all the words and I play ventriloquist with the singers," Turpin reflects. "This song was different, because the words are substantially Veda's own. It's a privilege to be able to work with an artist who is speaking from her heart, but who is able to fit so completely into the ambiance of my work."
Recorded in the slipstream of David's Romances album, it has us thoroughly beguiled of a Good Friday.
