Ahead of their U.S. / Canadian tour dates, Nouvelle Vague has shared a new single featuring Elias Dris – a reinterpretation of Culture Club’s classic, “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me”. The group’s U.S. and Canadian tour dates commence tomorrow night at The Fonda, Los Angeles before heading to San Francisco, New York, Toronto and Montreal.
Alongside sharing the new single, Nouvelle Vague have announced the release of a deluxe version of their 2024 album, Should I Stay or Should I Go? which is out May 16 via [PIAS] Recordings. In 1982, Marc Collin, who helms Nouvelle Vague discovered Boy George, the first openly queer singer, in the video for Culture Club. The strong melody & reggae ambience immediately caught his eye so, in 2025, Collin released an even more reggae-oriented version, featuring the superbly sweet-voiced Elias Dris.
