  • My Secret Friend (feat. Imogen Heap)

    ISSC81

    Artist: IAMX

    Label: SubSpace Communications

    "My Secret Friend" is the latest single from IAMX's recent album "Kingdom of Welcome Addiction" and features a rare duet with Imogen Heap, who herself has found recent chart success in USA, #5 on the Billboard chart and #2 on the download chart with her latest album. Surprisingly this is Chris Corners first duet with any artist of note but showing he has an as yet un-mined talent for collaborative material.

    True to form "My Secret Friend" is yet another dark and innuendo filled electro pop gem, and is accompanied by a theatrical gender-bending video which throws Imogen into a twisted Tim Burton-esque down-the-rabbit-hole world of emotional mind games and inner demons. It's also interesting to note that this video is another first, being directed by Chris and filmed in his recently acquired studio complex, an old ruined GDR [East Germany] building just outside Berlin.

    The single features a radio edit and a couple of remixes, including a mix with additional programming from Joe Wilson, a previous partner of Chris Corner from their days together in the Sneaker Pimps.

  • Kingdom of Welcome Addiction

    ICOM36

    Artist: IAMX

    Label: SubSpace Communications

    It's not often that a band infiltrates the essence of your being, where you live and breathe their music and their words. But for many, the Berlin-based IAMX has created a diehard cult who waits for their every move with bated breath. With their third album, IAMX has created another masterpiece in the "Kingdom of Welcome Addiction" in which the glam noir stylings of IAMX get an organic and much more intimate makeover.

    Originally breaking through the mainstream as one of the founding members of Sneaker Pimps, Chris Corner has been building his empire from within the broken walls of Berlin in the past few years. Frustrated from the industry forays of his former band, he built IAMX in his own vision without any input from outside sources.
