Bauhaus<\/strong> and Love and Rockets<\/strong> bassist David J<\/strong> is teaming up with actor Rose McGowan<\/strong> on a new single The Auteur (Redux – The Starlet’s Cut).<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

First released 17 years ago, David felt to the song had a new resonance in the light of the Harvey Weinstein<\/strong> scandal and the #MeToo<\/strong> movement, which shook the Hollywood movie industry to its foundations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe original version of The Auteur<\/em> was released as part of an EP in 2002, an old song that tells a much older story, but one which in light of the whole #MeToo movement now has an addendum,” he explains.<\/p>\n

Rose was Time Magazine<\/strong>‘s Person of the Year, in recognition of her courage in speaking out about sexual assault and harassment in the film industry.<\/p>\n

She has since released her own memoir Brave <\/strong><\/em>and featured in a four-part documentary series Citizen<\/em> Rose<\/em><\/strong>, focusing on her role in the #MeToo movement.<\/p>\n

The actor also received the Inspiration Award at the GQ<\/strong> Men Of The Year Awards in 2018.<\/p>\n

“The most vocal proponent of that righteous call for respect and culpability, Rose McGowan, makes a fitting and emotional appearance on this brand new version\u2019s reprise,” David says.<\/p>\n

“Rose told me that she related to the lyrics on a very personal level and, because of this, she is also considering recording her own version of the song.”<\/p>\n

The digital-only single, serves as a taster for David’s upcoming double album Missive To An Angel From The Halls Of Infamy And Allure<\/strong><\/em>, scheduled for release on Glass Modern Records<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in the Autumn.<\/p>\n
