Theres the close friendships with Alexander McQueen and Isabella Blow, the various collaborations with artists & designers, alongside well-respected ventures in the world of film, with Guinness name appearing on the back of the Oscar-nominated Cashback, which she co-produced, alongside a role in art film The Murder of Jean Seberg. Daphne recorded the album at Les Studios Saint Germain, Paris working once again with David Bowie producer Tony Visconti, also at the helm for Guinness previous two critically-acclaimed albums. Guinness creative partnership with Visconti was forged via an introduction from his long-standing collaborator, Bowie, a fan of Daphnes music. As hinted by illusory lead single & title track Revelations couched in Viscontis lush orchestrations, and for which Daphne cites both Gainsbourgs LHistoire de Melody Nelson & J.S. Bach as inspirations. Subsequent single release Deviant Disco also features in a new artfilm project nominated for this years Berlin Music Video Awards created by Daphne with another of her longterm collaborators, David LaChapelle, who also oversaw the surreal clip for the single Evening in Space lifted from Daphnes 2016 debut album.
