Poly Styrene was many things: a pop star, a punk, a songwriter, a single mother, a woman of colour, a Hare Krishna convert and an artist, but she is best known as the singer of XRay Spex. Dayglo! is the definitive statement on Poly Styrene as an artist.Poly Styrene was a singersongwriter, an artist, a freethinker, a postmodern style pioneer and a lifelong spiritual seeker: a true punk icon. But this rebel queen with the cheeky grin was also a latterday pop artist with a wickedly perceptive gift for satirising the world around her her brightly coloured, playful aesthetic sharply at odds with the stark monochrome style and nihilism of punk.Here, for the first time, the vibrant jigsaw of Poly's inspiring and often moving story has been lovingly pieced together by her daughter, singersongwriter Celeste Bell, and writer/artist Zo Howe.From growing up mixedrace in London in the 1960s, to being at the forefront of the emerging punk scene with XRay Spex in the 1970s, to finding faith with the Hare Krishna movement, to balancing single motherhood with a solo music career and often debilitating mental health issues, the book honestly and openly explores Poly's exceptional life, up until her untimely passing in 2011.Based on interviews with those who knew and loved Poly whether personally or through music, this oral history book includes testimonies from Vivienne Westwood, Don Letts, Glen Matlock, Jonathan Ross, Neneh Cherry, The Slits' Tessa Pollitt, Thurston Moore, Jon Savage, and many others.Heavily illustrated throughout including personal photographs, flyers from the punk scene and handdrawn artwork and lyrics for XRay Spex and beyond the book beautifully captures Poly Styrene's creative and personal legacy, reminding us that if anyone had the power to turn our worlds dayglo, it was her.
