Sinitta to debut comeback single at London Pride
By Will Stroude
Sinitta is to debut her new single at London Pride next Saturday (June 28).
The ’80s popstar is planning to relaunch her music career with So Many Men, So Little Time, a cover of her mother Miquel Brown’s 1983 disco hit, which quickly became adopted as a gay anthem on dancefloors worldwide.
Sinitta, a mainstay of X Factor Judges’ Houses in recent years, will perform her comeback track to Pride in London revellers from aboard the Out in the City & G3 Magazine float.
“I’m looking forward to performing at Pride in London because it’s like going back to my roots!” Sinitta said ahead of the comeback.
“I am not gay, but the British gay community have pretty much shaped a lot of my early days out on the club and party scene with my closest friends and my many gay husbands and wives who mean so much to me.”
The So Macho singer added: “London is the best city in the world and it’s great to be recording, dancing, singing and having fun as an artist again. There have been huge land marks this year in the gay community that we should celebrate!”
Sinitta, who now contributes to attitude.co.uk as an agony aunt, revealed that she had covered So Many Men, So Little Time at our 20th birthday party earlier this year (March).
“I’m doing a cover of her song,” Sinitta told us on the red carpet, accompanied by her mother. “I’ve already recorded it and I have to say it’s fabulous.”
Asked when she was hoping to debut the track, Sinitta replied: “Hopefully you’ll be hearing it for summer – I’d like it to be out in time for summer.”
Miquel Brown also joked that she and her daughter are staring to feel competitive about the song, saying: “We’re rivals about it!”
Sinitta notched up nine UK top 40 hits in the late ’80s and early ’90s, including the top ten smashes Toy Boy, Cross My Broken Heart, Right Back Where We Started From and her signature tune So Macho.
The week-long Pride in London festival kicks off this Sunday (June 22) with a ‘Freedom to…’ theme. The parade will depart from Baker Street at 1pm on Saturday June 28 – the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
