JESUS LOVES YOU/BOY GEORGE

The Martyr Mantras 

CUMCD1) More Protein 1990

When he released The Martyr Mantras, under the collective name of Jesus Loves You in the UK, and under his own name in the rest of the world, Boy George had been an important figure in the pop world for eight years, and it already seemed like an eternity. During that time, he’d known it all, from being an It Girl in club land, to international superstardom with Culture Club, to drug scandals.
After the collapse of Culture Club and the re-launch of Boy George as a solo artist, he enjoyed unequal success with his albums. Sold did pretty well, supported by strong singles (Sold, Keep Me In Mind, and mainly, Everything I Own and To Be Reborn). Tense Nervous Headache and, mostly, Boyfriend/High Hat, the follow-ups, if good records, disconcerted his public by a generally more dance orientated sound. This is why, when working on The Martyr Mantras, and realising the club potential for it, George decided to hide behind the Jesus Loves You alias. This was definitely a clever move, as After The Love, the first single taken from the album, co-written with Jon Moss, received critical acclaim. But it was not until Generations Of Love was released than Boy George would reach public success again. The track became omnipresent in all the UK clubs, and remains, to this day, a classic. The album delved deeper into house, deep house and soul, and included brilliant songs, such as Love’s Gonna Let You Down, the magnificent Love Hurts, and even featured the political No Clause 28, as well as the infectious Bow Down Mister, blessed with an acoustic guitar and an hypnotic beat. The Martyr Mantra benefited of an impeccable production, and sounds as modern today as it did then.
It would take five years for George to release another album, Cheapness & Beauty, changing direction once again. Boy George is as unpredictable with his music as he is with his outfits. The Martyr Mantras surprised when it was released, and still does today. It is an excellent dance record, while still retaining the song writing quality of his other records. The Martyr Mantras is his finest album to date
