Synopsis
Shot in stark black and white, the video presents Shakespears Sister as performers trapped inside a narrow, box-like room that resembles a closet or miniature stage. The doors open at the beginning, revealing Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit as they sing toward the camera, while old-film textures, framed compositions, and theatrical imagery give the performance a dreamlike, slightly uncanny quality. As the song ends, the doors close again, leaving the duo enclosed within the strange broadcast-like world of the video.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video uses a deliberately old-fashioned black-and-white look, making the performance resemble a fragment from an old movie rather than a conventional early-1990s pop production.
- The box-like set is opened at the start and closed at the end, giving the video a self-contained, almost stage-play structure.
- "Hello (Turn Your Radio On)" was released in the United Kingdom on October 26, 1992, as the fourth single from the album Hormonally Yours.
- The single reached No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart and remained there for six weeks.
- The song closes Hormonally Yours, reinforcing the video's sense of a final curtain call or transmission fading out.
- The single version was remixed from the album recording, with additional bass and drums giving it a fuller sound.
- The track was written by Siobhan Fahey, Marcella Detroit, and Manu Guiot, and was produced by Shakespears Sister with Alan Moulder.
