Desire and Guy Gerber have come together for a new cover version of the Tuxedomoon’s ‘In A Manner Of Speaking’, taken from their 1985 album ‘Holy Wars’.
While the original version of ‘In A Manner Of Speaking’ is quite minimal, Desire and Guy Gerber have reworked the track into a 4×4 atmospheric synth-pop meets club piece. There are the shimmering synths that are a part of the Desire signature sound with Guy Gerber adding that marriage of progressive house to it.
Desire and Guy Gerber have also shared an video to coincide with the single release. Filmed at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles and directed by Johnny Jewel, you can watch the visuals down below.
Regarding the track, Meg Louise of Desire mentioned:
“I’ve been dying to share something really close to my heart—my cover of Tuxedomoon’s In A Manner Of Speaking that I worked on with my dear friend, Guy Gerber. This song has always held a special place in my heart, and creating this version together was such a beautiful, emotional journey. We performed it in Paris, Ibiza, and London over the summer, and every time it felt like the music wrapped the room in something magical.
You know those moments when music just speaks the words you can’t find yourself? “Ohh give me the words” is exactly that feeling for me. It’s the kind of song you can cry to, but still feel like dancing. I’m over the moon to finally share it with you—I hope it hits you the same way it did for us.”
