New video release for birthday boy Ashton Nyte

The video, which had its premier with the alternative fashion and culture site Auxilliary Magazine (New York) yesterday, is the third video single from the album, following the cinematic melancholy of Dressing Like You and the faux 'B' movie new wave of See Me Cry. Ashton refers to the new single as not only his favourite song on the album, but also one of the most personal offerings of his stylistically diverse career.

But that’s not all that Nyte is celebrating. He has written lyrics and recorded vocals for two tracks on British guitarist Mark Gemini Thwaite's (Peter Murphy, The Mission, Gary Numan, Tricky) new album, to be released in June on top independent label SPV. The album features what Team Rock has referred to as the “star-studded line-up” of Ville Valo (HIM), Wayne Hussey (The Mission), Julianne Regan (All About Eve), Miles Hunt (The Wonder Stuff) and many more. Nyte was introduced to Mark Gemini Thwaite by Adrian Skirrow (ASP Records) last year after Thwaite saw Nyte perform live, supporting Wayne Hussey in South Africa and headlining Skirrow’s Le Club Reunion Party to a capacity crowd at Barnyard Theatre Rivonia in May 2015. The first single, a cover of the ABBA classic, Knowing Me, Knowing You, featuring Ville Valo on vocals has just been released with a video that has gone viral, achieving over 300,000 views in its first week.

Release in China

Nyte, who began his career with a haunting version of The Sound Of Silence with The Awakening in 1997 and has topped the charts with hits like Glam Vamp Baby, Maree, and See Me Cry, has also just confirmed that his two most recent albums, 'Some Kind Of Satellite' and 'Anthology XV' (by The Awakening) will be released in China this year as well, with negotiations to perform in the country currently underway.
