Alex Cameron shares ode to the independent sex work industry on new cut "Far From Born Again"
Alex Cameron has returned with new offering "Far From Born Again", an ode to the independent sex work industry.
"Far From Born Again" is the third single to be shared from Cameron's forthcoming album Miami Memory, after "Divorce" and "Miami Memory".
In a statement posted on Stereogum, Cameron said of his new offering, ""Far From Born Again" is a song about the independent sex work industry; its workers, and the dialogue surrounding their community. Not to be confused with sex trafficking or forced prostitution, independent sex workers set their own rates, and choose their clients. The song was a moment for me to clearly express my stance on the job and the people that do it. I support sex workers, I know many of them, I believe that educating the public on its very existence is extremely important. Writing the song was also a chance to speak directly to those who oppose it - men in parliaments and senates across the world, forced to maintain a global puritan standard to uphold a dubious political status quo at the cost of providing legislation that could well lead towards the well-being of the many sex workers across the world."
Cameron's Miami Memory record is his first since 2017's Forced Witness, and is produced by Foxygen's Jonathan Rado (Weyes Blood, Father John Misty), and recorded and mixed by Marta Salogni (Björk, Kelela).
