The Darkness Continue To Tease 'Motorheart' With New Song Jussy's Girl

Written by Jon Stickler
The Darkness have released a new song.
Jussy's Girl is the latest cut to be lifted from the British rockers' upcoming seventh studio album, 'Motorheart', due out on November 19 via Cooking Vinyl.
Following Nobody Can See Me Cry, the '80s rock-inspired number comes teamed with a comical video that finds singer Justin Hawkins journeying through a telephone box time machine to the days of black and white silent movies. Hawkins commented:
"Jussy's Girl is a song about unrequited desires of both the flesh and the heart. Although one could argue that hearts are made out of the same stuff as flesh. You know what I mean though. It’s about an unspeakable longing, but sounds like a bloke walking around in his 501s on a sunny day. It’s sad, but also carefree.
"Sonically we were aiming for somewhere between Def Leppard and Billy Ocean. Well, I was. There’s a helicopter in it and an awesome guitar solo. What more could you ask for?"
They'll support the LP with a previously announced UK tour this winter, with Irish dates following in February 2022. Support comes from special guests British Lion. Tickets are on sale now.
