The iconic British duo Pet Shop Boys have just released their brand new single, “Dancing Star,” which is out now via Parlophone.

“Dancing Star” was inspired by the real life of ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, who defected from the Soviet Union and went on to become a global star. It follows the release of “Loneliness” back in January, and will appear on their eagerly anticipated new album, Nonetheless, which will be released on April 26th. 

The six-track single bundle — which is available now on all digital outlets and arriving on April 19th in CD format — includes standard and extended Solomun remixes of “Dancing Star,” a Superchumbo (Tom Stephan) remix of “Party in the Blitz” featuring the voice of London club legend Princess Julia, and two bonus tracks, written and produced by Pet Shop Boys: “Sense of Time” and “If Jesus Had a Sister.”
