Australian artists have been working on a Chrissy Amphlett tribute in recent months and now ‘Divinyls Reworked’ has been released.
The album will have a limited edition release with profits from ‘Divinyls Reworked’ going to the MS Society & Breast Cancer Network.
‘Divinyls Reworked’ is a project by Melbourne producer Ginger Van Handley.
“Chrissy Amphlett, lead singer of the Divinyls, is a personal hero of mine,” Ginger said. “Like many Australians, I grew up listening to Divinyls music. She was definitely a rock goddess! Since her passing last year, after battling breast cancer, I’ve wanted to do something to honour the contribution Chrissy made to Australian music. Thankfully, I know quite a few talented Australian singers and musicians, and they’ve generously agreed to be a part of this project, reworking a Divinyls classic in their own unique way”.
Van Handley funded the project through Pozible.
