"A Case for Shame" is a song by American electronica musician Moby. It was released as the first official single from his eleventh studio album Innocents on July 1, 2013.[1] The track is a collaboration with Canadian singer-songwriter Cold Specks.
Moby first came into contact with Cold Specks due to their mutual connection as Mute Records label mates, and after listening to her 2012 album I Predict a Graceful Expulsion, he invited her to collaborate.[2] The two recorded the songs "A Case for Shame" and "Tell Me", the former in November 2012 while Cold Specks was on tour in the United Kingdom.[2] Cold Specks described the recording process as "a very free, collaborative, creative environment... He was really open to what I was doing and luckily he liked what I was doing and it worked really well."[2]
The music video for "A Case of Shame" was directed by Moby and released on July 17, 2013.[3] Filmed in a pool in his Los Angeles home, the clip's premise was described by Moby as being about "an after-life inhabited by people who are concealing themselves because of shame."[3]
