Ils voulaient que je corresponde à une certaine image, que je sois d’une certaine manière. Ils disaient : tu vas devenir une star. Les gens ne demandent pas vraiment qui tu es ; ils demandent l’image que l’on a construite de toi. Et c’est un peu ce qui s’est passé : peu à peu, ils ont commencé à me transformer en image.

"Jimmy Somerville, rebelle queer de la pop anglaise" : un documentaire à voir sur Arte
Diffusé sur Arte ce vendredi 14 novembre et disponible sur arte.tv, le documentaire d’Olivier Simonnet lève le voile sur un artiste engagé et l’une des premières popstars ouvertement gays.
“Run away, turn away, run away.” En 1984, un jeune homme de 23 ans du nom de Jimmy Somerville élève une new wave ouvertement gay au top des charts européens durant plusieurs semaines. Enregistrée avec son groupe, Bronski Beat, et portée par sa voix de contralto, la chanson “Smalltown Boy”, en partie autobiographique, raconte l’histoire d’un jeune homme gay originaire d’un village ouvrier. Souffrant de solitude et victime d’homophobie, il fuit le foyer familial pour déployer ses ailes dans une grande ville – un élan bien vite contrarié par une agression homophobe qui le renvoie chez ses parents.

"Don't leave me this way" - The Communards
Second week at number one, and a new studio performance, here Jimmy starts on the same stage as Richard and Sarah-Jane.
The big brass section get their moment in the spotlight, and there's a lovely lighting effect during the "aaaaaaah" - all the neon freezes on and the lights stop flashing.

On my mental soundtrack for Pride Month: Jimmy Somerville's gorgeous falsetto ringing out in protest against queerphobia, set to a video that broadens the protest to call out 1980s Thatcherist economic oppression. Both of which messages, sadly, apply to current events in the US.

Episode sixty is up now! Today's song is Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat.
I discuss the contrast between the club banger tune and the sorrowful vocals, and the heartbreaking music video.
