Dexys release title track from forthcoming album, The Feminine Divine

In "The Feminine Divine", the central character in the album narrative starts to really take stock of his life and his attitude towards women.

“After stating his original macho position in the opening track "The One That Loves You"; then admitting that it was a phoney position in the second song "It's Alright Kevin"; subsequently committing himself to change in track three, "I'm Going To Get Free"; and feeling he’s moving forward in track four, "Coming Home"; the protagonist now examines his relationship with women in "The Feminine Divine". He's hit with the realisation that his attitude and actions have been completely wrong,” Kevin Rowland said of the track.

"Overcome with regret and at last glimpsing how women might actually feel, the man gets honest and admits how afraid of women he has been, and how fear has driven so many of his actions. He now sees and acknowledges women’s inherent power: if anything, women are superior; they are goddesses. He sincerely pledges to be different in the future.”

The Feminine Divine is Dexys’ fifth album of original material produced once again by Pete Schwier, along with acclaimed session musician and producer Toby Chapman. After taking some time out to refocus his energy, Kevin Rowland came back to music with a fresh perspective and new-found positivity. A personal, if not strictly autobiographical, record portraying a man whose views have evolved over time.
