 My Secret Friend is the latest single from IAMX's recent album Kingdom of Welcome Addiction and features a rare duet with Imogen Heap, who herself has found recent chart success in USA, #5 on the Billboard chart and #2 on the download chart with her latest album. Surprisingly this is Chris Corner's first duet with any artist of note but showing he has an as yet un-mined talent for collaborative material. True to form My Secret Friend is yet another dark and innuendo filled electro pop gem, and is accompanied by a theatrical gender-bending video which throws Imogen into a twisted Tim Burton-esque down-the-rabbit-hole world of emotional mind games and inner demons. It's also interesting to note that this video is another first, being directed by Chris and filmed in his recently acquired studio complex, an old ruined GDR [East Germany] building just outside Berlin. The single features a radio edit and a couple of remixes, including a mix with additional programming from Joe Wilson, a previous partner of Chris Corner from their days together in the Sneaker Pimps.
