Stereophonics release new single ahead of upcoming album

Stereophonics have released a new single called "Seems Like You Don’t Know Me." This emotional track is the second song from their upcoming album titled "Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait." The new single follows the first release, "There’s Always Gonna Be Something," which came out in January. The band is exploring different sounds with this song, including nostalgic synths and drum machines combined with acoustic guitar. Lead singer Kelly Jones shared that the song's melody changed during its creation, shifting from a complex sound to a more minimalist style that he loves. Jones also reflected on the song's themes, noting that relationships can be complicated and communication often breaks down. The new album will be the band's 13th and will be released on April 25. Stereophonics will also be performing at a big concert at the Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on August 16, with support from Blossoms and Jake Bugg. Before that, the band plans to tour the UK and Ireland starting in June, ending with a concert at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. They are also set to headline the Isle of Wight Festival this year, alongside Justin Timberlake and Sting. Tickets for their upcoming shows are available now.
