A Permanent Shadow, the musical collective led by CP Fletcher, is about to release their new single. "Beautiful People" talks about what happens when beauty disappears once the aging process begins, especially for people who have used their looks all their lives to get what they want. The song is accompanied by an animated video starring a young, beautiful and successful couple who, after giving themselves the “Yes I do”, face the harsh reality of a routine life full of ups and downs.

The song was composed by the British musician Paul Malcolm and produced by Valen Nieto and Albert Català. Musically speaking, "Beautiful People" moves between Britpop and Eighties Electronica.

A Permanent Shadow's debut album was released in September 2019 to critical acclaim on the band's APE Music label. A particular highlight for Fletcher was a mention by Simple Minds on their Facebook account after A Permanent Shadow had covered their hitsingle “See The Light”.

The release of A Permanent Shadow's new album“Humdrum” is scheduled for early 2022. “Beautiful People” will be available on digital platforms starting November 12. The presave link is bit.ly/beautiful_people_aps

About

A Permanent Shadow is a band for want of a better description. Its only fixture is CP Fletcher who for the recording of his debut album surrounded himself with a rotating cast of musicians and producers. Albert Català, a classically trained piano player, helped CP whip the demos into shape. The finishing touches in the studio were provided by renowned producer Valentín Nieto.

CP took his first steps as a frontman forming a Lou Reed tribute project, The Magic and Loss Orchestra. Such is his admiration for the curmudgeon from New York that the tribute experience ended up bleeding into A Permanent Shadow via a cover of Sword of Damocles, originally featured on Reed’s Magic and Loss album and included on Songs of Loss in a reworked form.
