HIS FIRST RELEASE USING THE M MONIKER FOR OVER 40 YEARS

OUT NOW VIA BMG

Robin Scott – aka M – has shared his first new music under the M moniker in over 40 years – ‘Break The Silence’ is out now via BMG.

Robin Scott explains, “’Break the Silence’ means so much to me on a personal level. On a professional level, I feel it’s the first new recording which I can happily attribute to a fusion of the musical chemistry which has been associated with me as an artist/producer, reflected in the crossover credit of both Robin Scott and M.”

The new track follows the release of a previously unheard track earlier this year ‘Baby Close The Window’, which Scott discovered in his archives earlier this year. ‘Break The Silence’ is set to herald a new period of creativity for M, with further new releases set to follow.

In March 1979, Robin Scott released ‘Pop Muzik’, an era-defining smash in New York, London, Paris and Munich – and indeed across the globe. ‘Pop Muzik’ hit the top spot in the US, Canada, Australia, West Germany and Sweden, and only just missed the top spot in the UK (hitting the #2 slot). It proved to be a true paradigm-shifter, and provided a template for pop music of the 1980s, foreshadowing the age of MTV with its globalist message and eye-catching video.

Robin’s musical CV is long and varied, with initial forays into the folk world of the late 1960s followed by ventures into independent label ownership (Do It), artist production and management in the 1970s. Friends included Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and legendary designer Vivienne Westwood, and it was while Scott was on location in Paris filming The Slits with director Julien Temple (a commission from the management team of Malcolm McLaren), that Scott conceived the ‘M’ concept.

The Guardian spoke to M and video director Brian Grant last month on the creation of ‘Pop Muzik’ and its unforgettable video: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/jun/05/m-how-we-made-pop-muzik-bowies
