The singer, actor, DJ, artist, photographer and fashion designer, known simply as Boy to his legion of fans, has constantly reinvented himself and remains today one of the world's most recognizable icons of pop culture.

After a tumultuous past few years, Boy George is finally back to doing what he loves best - music.

Joining forces with leading international dance label MN2S under their brand new imprint, Decode Records, Boy presents the anthemic new single, Amazing Grace.

A classic club cut of powerhouse proportions, "Amazing Grace" was written by Boy George and longtime collaborators John Themis & Roland Faber, with production coming courtesy of Kinky Roland. The track features additional vocals by the critically acclaimed Portuguese singer Ana Lains. There is also a vivid and trippy video to accompany the single, which was masterfully produced and directed by Lady Pat.

Catered towards every discerning dance floor, "Amazing Grace" has been artfully re-touched, re-mixed and re-mastered by some of the best players in the business including Kurd Maverick (responsible for 2009's Blue Monday remake), The Sharp Boys (remixers of Kylie Minogue, Pink, Christina Aguilera) & Filo & Peri.

The track is already garnering international support from such dance music tastemakers as Judge Jules, Sister Bliss, ATFC and Armin Van Buuren (the world's #1 DJ according to Mixmag), who debuted the Filo & Peri mix on his radio show in the #15 position of the Cool Cuts chart.

In addition to the club mixes, Jamiroquai's Rob Harris also lends a helping hand to deliver an inspiring acoustic version that features The Young Punks' Hall Ritson.
