Latex Messiah (Viva la Rebel in You)

"Latex Messiah (Viva la Rebel in You)" is a song by the British rock singer Toyah Willcox, released in 2007.

Background
The song was written by Toyah and her collaborator Simon Darlow, and was produced by Darlow. It was her first single release since 1994 and also her first digital release. The track served as the lead single from Toyah's new studio album In the Court of the Crimson Queen which was released almost a year later.

A new version of "Latex Messiah" was released on the 2023 re-recording of In the Court of the Crimson Queen, featuring Robert Fripp.
