It serves as a reminder of Hutchence’s talent and the void his untimely departure left in the music world. However, it also celebrates his legacy, offering fans new material to cherish. Danny Saber’s work on this track is not just a tribute but a continuation of Hutchence’s artistic journey, allowing his voice to once again captivate and inspire audiences.”–_** The Hunnypot**_ “’One-Way’ is the kind of big, anthemic (and very mid-’90s) rock song that needs someone with as much charisma and presence as Hutchence had.” – _**Brooklyn Vegan**_ “INXS frontman Michael Hutchence has been gone for nearly three decades, but his music lives on, and it turns out there’s even more music to enjoy.” – _**ABC News**_ “[‘One-Way] is a significant posthumous addition to Hutchence’s musical legacy.”–_** Post-Punk.com**_ “I think God reserves the lisp for truly dangerous people.” – **Bono, musician U2** ### **MICHAEL HUTCHENCE’S**⏎ **TWO NEW POSTHUMOUS SINGLES****“ONE-WAY” b/w “SAVE MY LIFE”****TO BE RELEASED ON 10” PICTURE DISC**_**via **_**BOSS SONICS / DEKO ON AUGUST 9th** [⌊Michael Hutchence⌉⌊Michael Hutchence⌉[ **10″ Picture Disc** **JULY 8, 2024 (New York, NY) – **“It’s been nearly 30 years since Michael and I first spoke on the phone,” recalls producer **Danny Saber** (_Madonna, Rolling Stones, U2_) about the first time he spoke to the revered INXS lead singer and ultimate rockstar **Michael Hutchence.** “I could scarcely imagine then, three decades later, I would be writing about the release of his ‘lost’ songs found in a vault or that there would even be a need to remind the world of his greatness… but that’s where I find myself.” Preparing for the release of the picture disc of **“ONE-WAY” b/w “SAVE MY LIFE”** on **August 9, 2024 **_via _**Boss Sonics/Deko Entertainment**, Saber has a lot to recall. A very close friend and collaborator with the late rock icon, he has been working on some of the unfinished songs that Hutchence left behind since his passing in 1997. **Two formats will be available in limited editions:** standard black and white _via_** Boss Sonics** (available[ ](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=f207c910ba&e=615f2b8493) [HERE](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=260e847c3f&e=615f2b8493)) and red _via _**Deko Entertainment** (available [HERE](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=119f3e4364&e=615f2b8493)). Premiered on April 4^(th) _via _Brooklyn Vegan, “One-Way” surprised fans and the media alike who showered the track with praise and reminded them fondly of the arresting charisma that Hutchence embodied. Arguably the last rockstar to capture the attention of the world before the digital revolution decimated fandom, Hutchence was a unique character who combined music, sex appeal and mystique in a way that hasn’t been replicated since.

Michael would have especially loved how it has been embraced by so many in the Alternative and Underground communities.” [⌊Michael Hutchence⌉⌊Michael Hutchence⌉[ **Michael Hutchence** Photo credit: Chris Cuffaro The thunderous and dramatic B-Side “Save Me Life” opens with Hutchence’s sultry and commanding hush before launching into a propulsive anthem with his soaring vocals leading straight into a chorus that recalls the best of INXS’ catalogue, highlighting that memorable and irreplaceable voice.   The culmination of nearly two decades of work, both “One-Way” and “Save My Life,” along with other demos, had been in a tape locker undisturbed for years after Hutchence’s death. When the recordings surfaced in London _circa _2006, they were entrusted to Saber who immediately went to work, reviewing the recordings to determine if there was enough quality for some sort of release. “It confirms what we both agreed to all those years ago, which was to allow our creativity to take the music wherever it led us and get back to what compelled Michael to create in the first place, shaking off the shackles and fear that phenomenal success can often bring with it, in turn, stifling the creative process. This was our mission statement.” Taking one of the _acapella_ vocal recordings that Hutchence left, Saber faithfully fleshed out and fashioned two of the tracks into “One-Way” and “Save My Life,” ensuring it retained the elevated refinement that Hutchence demanded in life. “Michael and INXS set a really high standard for their music,” he explains. “I’ve said many times that you would be hard-pressed to find a crappy INXS song… a certain level of excellence had to be maintained!” With a legacy that extends over four decades, beginning with the iconic multi-platinum band INXS, who have sold over 50 million albums worldwide, which effectively makes them the biggest-selling Australian act ever, as well as his solo projects, including short-lived but adored side project Max Q and also starring in films such as _Dogs in Space _and_ Frankenstein Unbound_, Hutchence was an unbridled talent whose cultural significance knew few bounds. Even in death, his impact continues. Reflecting on his friend and the ultimate meaning that these recordings will finally see the light of day, Saber concludes, “If this release has accomplished anything, hopefully hearing ‘That Voice’ again on something fresh and in tune with the times will remind the world of his greatness. If so, then mission accomplished.” The 10” picture disc of **“One-Way” **b/w **“Save My Life”** will be released on** August 9, 2024** _via _**Boss Sonics/Deko Entertainment**.
