Skunk Anansie Return with New Single ‘An Artist Is An Artist’: A Bold Statement for 2025

British rock legends Skunk Anansie are back, unleashing their electrifying new single, ‘An Artist Is An Artist.’ Marking their first new music release in nearly three years, this track cements the iconic four-piece at the top of their game. Blending sharp wit with a pulsating, spiky new-wave energy, the song is a masterclass in provocative, modern rock.

Tackling issues like ageism and the overwhelming need for validation in the digital age, ‘An Artist Is An Artist’ channels the same confrontational spirit as Skunk Anansie’s incendiary debut single, ‘Little Baby Swastikkka.’ This track also reaffirms the band’s place in the lineage of British agit-pop, akin to the rebellious energy of The Slits, while showcasing the clever wordplay reminiscent of Ian Dury.

Produced by David Sitek: A Fresh Era for Skunk Anansie

The single is produced by none other than David Sitek, known for his work with TV On The Radio, Foals, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Solange. Sitek has pushed Skunk Anansie out of their comfort zone, helping them strip their sound to its raw essence while adding unexpected elements like a saxophone solo that elevates the track.

“He reminded us how simple making music can be,” explains Skin. Guitarist Ace adds, “He got us to strip things right down, which brought a new vitality to our music.”

What should have been an uncomfortable experiment turned into something utterly natural, showcasing the band’s ability to innovate even three decades into their career. The multi-colored lyric video accompanying the single demonstrates how vibrant and contemporary Skunk Anansie remain today.
