This painting takes its title and partial inspiration from Eleanor McEvoy's eponymous song on her NAKED MUSIC album (2016). The song was in turn inspired by Eleanor's personal experience of a US record label who tried to mould her image into something she was not. This is Chris Gollon’s response to the song which was launched in an exhibition of paintings inspired by the songs on the album. It was the start of a two-year experiment in artistic boundary crossing for Gollon and McEvoy, with paintings inspiring songs and vice versa.
