How do you feel about these colors?

“'Black and White Badge' tells the story of a young girl who is deeply concerned about the threat of nuclear apocalypse. She dreams of a world without violence and destruction but is haunted by the fear of the bomb falling.

Performed in the manner of a 60s yé-yé ballad, it’s a masterful juxtaposition of a child’s naivete and the very real dangers of a world on the brink — an interplay that repeats itself in the 21st century as children learn about the threat to their planet from climate change.

Earlier this month, Potter released the album’s lead single and title track 'Pink Bikini' which draws on the freewheeling spirit of her musical legacy and the ‘tell all’ nature of the album as a whole.  Says Potter: 'This song is based on actual events. When I was 16, I really did see a pink bikini in a shop window on the way to Victoria Station... Later, in the South of France, badly sunburned in my fruitless attempt to get a tan, I went to the local disco and afterwards 'lay on the evening sand' with a French boy. It seemed romantic but led to trouble and despair as I experienced the cruel double standards of the time.'"
