Daphne Guinness’s new single “2B Or Not 2B” is the first taste of her forthcoming album and the beginning of a new electronic chapter for the multidisciplinary artist. Written by Daphne and recorded at ATLAS Studio in Paris, the home of AIR, it sees her working with ATLAS’s in-house engineer Michel Tainturier and long-time collaborator Malcolm Doherty.
Daphne is a singular figure in contemporary culture, a multidisciplinary artist across music, performance, fashion, film and visual art. She has collaborated with visionary minds from Alexander McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld to David LaChapelle and Nick Knight; designed for Comme des Garçons and consulted for Gucci; co-produced the Oscar-nominated short film Cashback and starred in The Murder of Jean Seberg. She has lectured at the V&A Museum, appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race and Joanna Lumley’s Great Cities of the World, and amassed hundreds of thousands on TikTok through her sharp humour and irreverent self-parody.
She shifted focus toward music at the encouragement of David Bowie, who became a mentor and catalyst. Her debut Optimist in Black (2016) was followed by Daphne & the Golden Chord (2018), Revelations (2020) and Sleep (2024), the first three produced by Tony Visconti, who also contributed string arrangements to the fourth. Together they form a body of work that moves between glam, baroque pop, orchestral composition and electronic experimentation.
The word may be overused, but Daphne Guinness is a true cultural icon.
