about

Singer/songwriter and spoken word artist Ingrid Chavez returns with her long-awaited recording of Madonna’s groundbreaking 1990 number 1 hit, "Justify My Love".

The one-time Prince muse and ex-wife of avant art-rock auteur David Sylvian was the lyrical engine behind the steamy poetic/erotic meditation, alongside co-writers Lenny Kravitz and Andre Betts. To mark the iconic song's landmark 30th anniversary, Chavez issues her own version of the timeless classic that's as infectious and narcotic as the electrifying original.

Ingrid teams up with Danish producer/multi-musician Mashti to deliver an intimate, sparsely layered seduction suffused with sleek organic rhythms, supple melodies, breathy lustful vocals and a husky, percolating funk-fueled groove.

"Justify My Love" is the latest offering from the inimitable song stylist who's worked with an impressive cadre of artists including Prince, David Sylvian, Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Hurn, Ganga, Vanessa Daou, Deep Dive Corp. and Hush Forever.

Released December 18th via her own Ten Windows Records label imprint, the single follows Chavez's acclaimed 2019 studio album 'Memories Of Flying' (and accompanying singles "Light Rays", "Snow-Blind", "All The Love In The World" and "You Gave Me Wings"), and her recently-released lauded collaboration with Charles Webster, "The Spell", remixed by Burial (out now on Dimension Recordings).

lyrics

I want to kiss you in Paris 
I want to hold your hand in Rome 
I want to run naked in a rainstorm 
Make love in a train cross country 
You put this in me, so now what?
So, now what? 

Wanting, needing, waiting 
For you to justify my love (my love)
I'm hoping, and praying 
For you to justify my love 

I want to know you 
Not like that 
I don't want to be your mother 
I don't want to be your sister either 
I just want to be your lover 
I just want to be your baby 
Kiss me, that's right, kiss me 

Wanting, needing, waiting 
For you to justify my love (my love)
Yearning and burning 
For you to justify my love 

Yeah
What are you gonna do? 
What are you gonna do? 
Talk to me, tell me your dreams 
Am I in them? 
Tell me your fears 
Are you scared? 
Tell me your stories 
I'm not afraid of who you are 
We can fly

Poor is the man 
Whose pleasure depends 
On the permission of another 
Love me, that's right, love me 
I just want to be your baby 

Wanting, needing, waiting 
For you to justify my love (my love) 
I'm open and ready 
For you to justify my love (my love)
Ready (my love)
For you to justify my love (my love)
I'm open (my love)
For you to justify my love  

Ready and open 
For you to justify my love (my love)
I’m yearning (my love) 
For you to justify my love (my love) 
Burning, ready 
For you to justify my love (my love, my love)
Justify My Love
For you to justify my love
