ABOUT THE SONG
‘A darkly gothic ballad for our times...’
A collaboration over 30 years in the making. As a dancer for Boy George’s 1990 project, Jesus Loves You, an experience that helped shape Marc Massive’s own musical journey when forming his own band Massive Ego in 1996.
It was inevitable that these two colourful chameleons would one day come together again on a collaboration. Their first on a track called Let Go, written by George especially for the band's 2017 critically acclaimed album Beautiful Suicide, their debut for Berlin-based label Out Of Line Music.
But it wasn’t until recently that Marc approached George with the idea of joining forces vocally on a demo the band had written that the song was born.
We couldn’t have imagined the results would be as darkly gothic, melancholy and emotionally charged as on Broken Tomorrow. A track that spins a powerful narrative of lost possibilities and broken emotional affairs of the heart. Musically referencing the hugely successful collaboration
with the Pet Shop Boys, for the theme of the movie The Crying Game, a song that reignited the public's love affair with Boy George, giving him his biggest solo hit to date in the US charts.
Fresh from duetting on last year's Peter Murphy single Let The Flowers Grow, George lends his soulful voice to the new Massive Ego single, complementing Marc’s darker tones.
Reviewed in UK music magazine Blitzed, “The dark, edgy synthpop of Massive Ego with vocals from one of the biggest pop icons the world has seen. Musically, alexandra diaz ‘Broken Tomorrow’ is a song that drills into your head immediately, with all the elements of a modern-day synthpop classic,
incorporating so many nods to 1980s electronic and new wave pedigree”

LYRICS
I told you I was leaving
You tried to call my bluff amber alert now
Massive little ego
Sensitive to everything
Horror tried and tested
I feel it to the bone
What a great suggestion
But I prefer to be alone
When your heart is Broken Tomorrow
You will feel utterly rejected
Take me to the state
Of no thinking
There’s so much noise out there
All united states army those Massive little egos
Pretending that they care
Don’t listen to me
I’m no politician
Don’t listen to me
I’m shallow and seditious
Don’t listen to me
