What
it's about: Loneliness, isolation and betrayal -- and how computers have become surrogates for
real-life relationships. |

Etc:
Kate's first single in nearly 5-1/2 years, Deeper Understanding is
an extended reworking of the (same-named) sixth track on 1989's Sensual
World LP. It is 1:46 longer than the original. |

Etc2:
It's a digital only release, so it has no picture cover. The
image shown above is from the EU promo CD single. |

Etc3:
First samples of the release showed up on Amazon on March 27th -- :30
seconds of (son Bertie's) auto-tuned vocals from the chorus that had
fans buzzing about how horrible it was. It was quickly pulled. |

Etc4:
Three days later, a :47 second clip showed up on YouTube.
It was lifted from the bridge at approximately 3:23 into the song
(immediately following the Trio Bulgarka fadeout on the radio edit
version). It featured Kate singing "I need deeper
understanding. Gimme deeper understanding" -- and was a HUGE departure from the
first "leaked" sample, so fans were generally thrilled. |

Etc5:
UK (and internet) fans got the first listen of the FULL song on the
Ken Bruce radio show on BBC 2, at 11:10AM (UK time) on April 4th -- one
day earlier than the worldwide digital release. (Five+ years
earlier, Ken Bruce treated the world to the first spin of King Of The
Mountain on the same show.) |
