Boy George Releases New Song “The World Is Cool”
British singer-songwriter and Culture Club's Boy George released a new song “The World Is Cool” on June 28, 2025.
The song is featured on his 13th solo album “SE18”, which was released on June 21, 2025.
But the album is available on vinyl and CD only. It is not posted to online streaming services.
“SE18” is a reggae album. The album title takes from the postcode of the area of London that Boy George lived in as a teenager in late 1970s.
The album comprises 10 tracks and is available on elasticStage.
Boy George said of the album in an interview with This Morning, “I have a bunch of stuff coming out now, I found a way to release vinyl. So this is not going to be streamed. It's only vinyl and CD. I'm taking it right back. Because I feel like my audience doesn't seem to care about streaming. They like the product, the lyrics. And also I just love records. I actually doing this vinyl has really reminded me of how much I just get excited when Bowie put out a record or T-Rex, and you go and buy it, and looking at who played on it, who did the the costumes, who did the makeup. I think that's great.”- He said of the album on elasticStage, “I think the music business has always been cold and unemotional, and its getting worse. It looks very glamorous when your records are being played on the radio and popping up in TV commercials, but creativity is always the least of it. I love vinyl, and booklets with pictures and stories, and I hope to evoke that feeling I had when buying albums as a kid.”
