#Love it if we made it the 1975 album cover tv
The band’s inventive songwriting never stints on radio friendliness – the melody of TooTimeTooTimeTooTime is effervescent, while I Couldn’t Be More in Love is the kind of epic song that TV talent-show contestants feel impelled to take on.
#Love it if we made it the 1975 album cover series
The album has more to offer than a series of clever pastiches. There’s something breathless about how it leaps from Drake-esque Auto-Tune to the smoky west coast jazz of Mine, to Love It If We Made It, (which sounds like Tears for Fears circa Songs from the Big Chair) to Give Yourself a Try’s knowing homage to Joy Division’s Disorder. There is a hugely impressive musical diversity on display, which seems as much to do with reflecting how music exists online – everything immediately available, stripped of its historical context – as with showing off the contents of the band’s record collection. A Brief Enquiry Into Online Relationships feels more like the musical equivalent of a drunk early hours social media post, as a spew of unedited ideas veers from inspired to faintly regrettable. But behind the handwringing angst and existential despair, OK Computer was remarkably focused and direct. Healy and the rest of the 1975 have reappeared with an album that clearly wants to be an epochal statement: the presence of a spoken-word track performed by Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant, and the distinctly Radiohead-like song I Always Wanna Die Sometimes implies it wants to be a millennial OK Computer.
Nevertheless, the two and half years since their previous album, I Like It When You Sleep for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It have been eventful for the band’s frontman, taking in vast commercial success, heroin addiction and a spell in rehab. You suspect it is delivered with a wink to the camera. ‘Y ou learn a couple of things when you get to my age,” announces Matt Healy, 29, a few minutes into the 1975’s third album. Matty has since been in the studio with labelmate Beabadoobee again, working on EP ‘Our Extended Play’, and collaborated with frequent studio buddy No Rome, and Charli XCX on single ‘Spinning’. He also recently collaborated with Holly Humberstone, on her track ‘Please Don’t Leave Just Yet’Ī post shared by MATTY. Could that be the Springsteen influence we hear? Of the collaboration, Matty said: “We had a series of conversations, and one of the things was about ‘macho versus tough’ where we wanted to make something that wasn’t macho, but that felt quite tough and grown up and real.”
The band were recently seen out for dinner with Phoebe Bridgers – a sign that they’ve worked together again? But big news is that they have Jack Antonoff on production duty, along with Matty and Daniel. Guest spots on ‘Notes…’ ranged from Phoebe Bridgers, FKA twigs, and Cutty Ranks, to a spoken word interlude from Greta Thunberg and Matty’s own father Tim Healy, so it’s anyone’s guess. The 1975 do often collaborate on other artists’ records, but feature spots on their own albums are few and far between.
“On ‘All I Need to Hear’, a quiet ballad with an electric guitar, piano and strings, he sings to the love of his life: “ tell me you love me, ’cos that’s all that I need to hear”Īnd there’s a country-inspired track called ‘When We Are Together’ which features the line: “ the only time I feel it might get better is when we are together”. In a revealing first interview with Rolling Stone UK, Matty said that this record will forgo the ‘culture wars’ commentary of past records and focus on the universal theme of love.įrom the same Rolling Stone interview, the writer details some other songs on ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’. Matty had said that ‘Notes…’, would mark the end of an era and this new song certainly does suggest they’re going in another direction.
