Måneskin announce Iggy Pop-featuring new version of 'I Wanna Be Your Slave'

Eurovision 2021 winners Måneskin have teamed up with Iggy Pop for a new version of their single ‘I Wanna Be Your Slave’.

The original version of the song appeared on the Italian group’s second album ‘Teatro d’ira: Vol. I’, and landed in the Top 10 of the official UK singles chart.

Måneskin took to social media today (August 4) to announce that they have enlisted Iggy for a collaborative rework of the single. “MÅNESKIN & IGGY POP – I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE,” the band wrote above the song’s black-and-white cover art.

The track is set to arrive at 11am BST this Friday (August 6). Earlier this week, Måneskin teased its release by posting a brief snippet of themselves on a Zoom call with Iggy Pop – you can check out both tweets below.

Måneskin, whose Eurovision victory in May was marred by allegations of drug use, spoke to NME about what the future holds following their win. “This was our biggest dream, so we still can’t believe what’s going on,” explained bassist Victoria De Angelis.

“We really want to do our best to keep the attention by writing new music and trying to do some gigs in Europe and beyond. We’re working hard and we just want to play everywhere. We’re just figuring out how to manage everything.”

Meanwhile, Iggy Pop is set to lend his voice to a documentary focused on the discovery and exhibition of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. Titled Tutankhamun: The Last Exhibition, the film is expected to arrive at some point in 2022.
