Deepest Shame

"Deepest Shame" is a 2012 hip hop song by English singer-songwriter Plan B. The track is scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2012 as the third single from the Ill Manors soundtrack, a film which Plan B also directed.
Composition
"Deepest Shame" was first written as a hip hop song entitled "Michelle" that was used in Drew's 2008 short film Michelle and features beatboxer Faith SFX. The version of "Michelle" that was used in Ill Manors has some elements similar to "Deepest Shame", however for the album release the song was re-written as more of a soul number (although "Michelle" is included on the deluxe edition bonus disc). "Michelle" was originally a freestyle rap, featuring an extended rap verse and no 'Deepest Shame' chorus. However, in the final version the extension of the verse was taken out, replaced by a new first verse which was sung, and some lyrics of the original rap were changed.
Release
The song was first played on Later with Jools Holland on 11 May 2012. The track was included in the album ill Manors alongside a demo version titled "Michelle" on the deluxe edition.
Music video
The music video for "Deepest Shame" was directed by Paul Caslin and premiered on YouTube on 6 August 2012. The video shows footage of Plan B singing and rapping in a dimly lit room, intertwined with footage of Michelle (played by Anouska Mond) from Ill Manors. In the film, the character of Michelle is a prostitute, and she is pictured semi-nude in the video, although no explicit content is shown.
