xPropaganda Deliver Second Cut From Upcoming ‘The Heart is Strange’ Album, Icy Synth Number ‘Beauty Is Truth’

The second of xPropaganda’s upcoming eight track album The Heart is Strange arrives this week, Beauty Is Truth, and it is a steely mechanical slice of synthpop. Written by Claudia Brücken, John Williams, Stephen Lipson, and Susanne Freytag, the release also packs hypnotic production from Lipson.

Slowing the pace slightly from the attitude-filled previous single Don’t (You Mess With Me), the latest single is a trip back to eighties Berlin – authoritative line delivery paired with icy synths, helps the track shine as another gem in the former-Propaganda star’s emerging new discography.

The official album description: “Four decades on from the legendary ‘A Secret Wish’, ex Propaganda members Claudia Brücken and Susanne Freytag are back as xPropaganda. Reunited with original producer Stephen Lipson – fresh from his work on Hans Zimmer’s score to the latest Bond film, ‘No Time To Die’- the trio have unveiled a new album that’s conceptually and sonically the follow-up-that-never was to their mid-‘80s classic. With dramatic beats and magical soundscapes offset beautifully by Claudia and Susanne’s expressive, passionate vocals, ‘The Heart Is Strange’ evokes the spirit and passion of the original Propaganda whilst sounding effortlessly contemporary.”
