"'I Idolize You'" is the fifth single from British Darkwave band Massive Ego. It was written by Massive and Thirwall. It was the first release for the band on Marc Massive's own independent label, Public Disordar Records, on 15 August 2011. The single marked the departure from the Hi-NRG, Eurodance sound of the band's previous releases.
Background
The video for "I Idolize You" was filmed by Bambi Fantastic and directed by Massive and Frost. It features the SuicideGirls model Honey Manko, who later modelled for the cover of the 'Beautiful Suicide' album.
"Devil in Disguise" was written for the band by Australian production team, T1 Music and originally recorded for their second album, but was later released on the single as a B-side. On 9 July 2013 it was released as a digital only single via the Public Disordar Bandcamp.(
The Modification Mix, done by Lloyd Price of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, was just the sound that Massive was looking for. Price later joined the band in 2015.
