Ordinary Alien – The Kinky Roland Files is an album by Boy George, featuring a collection of his dance recordings made between 2001 and 2009. It was produced by Boy George himself and German record producer Kinky Roland.
Background
Some of the album's tracks, such as "Don't Wanna See Myself", "Look Pon U", and "Kill the A&R", had been shared by George via YouTube and MySpace around 2006–2007. "After Dark" and "Human Racing" (the latter in an alternate version) were featured on George's alter ego The Twin's 2004 album Yum Yum. "If I Were You" was included in his band Culture Club's 2002 box set. "Yes We Can" and "Amazing Grace" were released as singles in 2008 and 2009 respectively. "Turn 2 Dust" was released in dance and also reggae versions at the end of 2011.
The album contains two cover versions: Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way" and soul-folk songwriter Terry Callier's "I Don't Want to See Myself (Without You)".
