One of the worst covers I've seen in a long long time Truly horrible Makes me wonder if it's some kind of inside joke, or a comment on how no one cares about cover art anymore. What's particularly weird is that Dexys covers are usually good

Flipping heck...
"You can now watch the luxurious, cinematic music video for My Submission, the centrepiece of new album The Feminine Divine"
It's quite something but not for me. Kevin has obviously been battling his demons and reflecting on some poor behaviour in his past, but does this make for anything that most people might want to listen to with any regularity?
Dexys - My Submission (Official Music Video)
It's all of a piece after The Feminine Divine...
Dexys - The Feminine Divine
After stating his original macho position in the opening track "The One That Loves You"; then admitting that it was a phoney position in the second song "It's Alright Kevin"; subsequently committing himself to change in track three, "I'm Going To Get Free;" and feeling he’s moving forward in track four, "Coming Home"; the protagonist now examines his relationship with women in track five, "The Feminine Divine". He's hit with the realisation that his attitude and actions have been completely wrong.
"Overcome with regret and at last glimpsing how women might actually feel, the man gets honest and admits how afraid of women he has been, and how fear has driven so many of his actions. He now sees and acknowledges women’s inherent power: if anything, women are superior; they are goddesses. He sincerely pledges to be different in the future.
"In the track that follows, "My Goddess Is", the protagonist enters into a relationship in a completely different way to how he would have in the past. But that's a whole other part of the story..." - Kevin Rowland on "The Feminine Divine"

Kev expands on the album's concept here...
Dexys 'The Feminine Divine' is a story of sexuality and self discovery. As the songs progress the album builds the story of the main character as he gradually comes to terms with who he is.
Dexy's Midnight Runners co-founder Kevin Rowland caught up with Noise11's Paul Cashmere to tell the story of the album as well as the 40+ year history of Dexys (formerly Dexy's Midnight Runners).

Anyone heard the new album yet ?
Is he now just a sexually submissive masochist ?
Or is there more going on ?

Kevin really puts it all out there, unashamedly so. Overall it’s not bad. I’ll reserve judgement till I’ve heard it a few more times
