Laibach complete a trilogy of interpretations with “I Want To Know What Love Is”, a 3-track release featuring their interpretation of Foreigner’s track. The single is out now on Mute.
“I Want To Know What Love Is” follows their recent interpretations of “Strange Fruit” and “White Christmas” and has been performed as an encore on the Slovenian provocateurs Opus Dei Revisited tour (which continues into February / March).
The single holds the cover plus an extended and a ‘distorted love’ mix.
“I Want to Know What Love Is” is one of Foreigner’s most iconic songs. Written by the band’s guitarist and founding member Mick Jones, it was released in November 1984 as the lead single from their fifth studio album, “Agent Provocateur”.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
