Private unveil a new video for a not quite so new song

  • December 9, 2009
  • Popjustice



They may have created one of the albums of the decade but Private's assault on the UK charts is taking a while — 'My Secret Lover' will be two and a half years old when it's even­tu­ally released here on January 10. Fortunately it still sounds fresh and amazing and progress is def­in­itely being made: along with some new mixes 'etc' the band have shot a new video which unfor­tu­nately does away with the very simple charm of the original, but it's a slick affair and it's got some birds' knockers in it, so phwoarrrr right lads???!!

TRAGICALLY their label have decided that it would be a very bad idea for websites to be able to embed the video, so you'll have to click here to watch it. UPDATE: You can watch it now, hurrah etc. ANOTHER UPDATE: The single's just moved back a week.

This per­form­ance of the track is quite good, too — it's from a European awards thing in 2008.

New law: from January 2010 onwards all TV per­form­ances should take place inside lasery pyramids.
