Boy George has explained why the artwork for his new single is so similar to one that Kylie Minogue shared last year.The Culture Club frontman first stirred controversy with the cover earlier this week, when he dropped his new single ‘Religion’ on Monday (February 19).The track was one of two new songs that Boy George announced in the audiobook for his new memoir Karma last autumn, and upon its release, it was the artwork for the single that turned heads – namely for its close resemblance to that of Minogue’s 2023 album ‘Tension’.In the artwork, Boy George is seen with a sunset-hued background, and his name and the track’s title are written in the same fonts used on the ‘Padam Padam’ singer’s album artwork.Following its release, fans were quick to take to social media to comment on the decision, and question whether or not the cover was real or intended as a joke.I know that every masterpiece has its cheap copy but what the hell is this… pic.twitter.com/mPSh6XZUc4— Editor-In-Chief of Reality Von Tease (@confideinm3) February 19, 2024“I know that every masterpiece has its cheap copy but what the hell is this,” one person wrote on X/Twitter, while another shared their surprise that it was in fact the finished cover, originally thinking “it was satire”.Now, the ‘Karma Chameleon’ singer has defended the decision to use the cover and explained why he opted for something so similar to that used by Kylie Minogue. “I’m recycling everything.
