Alfie Templeman has shared the latest single, “My Best Friend” from an upcoming EP entitled ‘Happiness in Liquid Form‘. The EP is set to drop on July 15 via Chess Club Records. The new single also features his label fellow Coach Party.
It is not long after the 17-year-old musical prodigy just launched a new era with “Happiness in Liquid Form“, a new disco-pop track that helps us throughout this difficult time. Yesterday (April 27), he shared a follow-up to the lead single with the next song dubbed “My Best Friend“.
The track is a complete opposite of the lead because of its much darker mood and ominous lyrics about our own saboteur. “My best friend is a killer in disguise. She’ll show you things you’ve never seen. You won’t believe your eyes. My best friend has a lot to say ‘bout you,” sings Templeman
About the track, the “Don’t Go Wasting Time” singer told DIY, “It’s about depression and sadness being the only thing that’s always there for you, as if it’s the only thing that really sticks around and lurks behind everything you do.” He adds, “It’s as if these feelings are the closest thing to you, like your best friend.”
Jess Eastwood from Coach Party is invited to join force for the track. She says, “I instantly related to Alfie’s lyrics and the meaning behind it.” Eastwood further insists that the track is a “cool” take on dealing with sadness: “Let’s be real, we all get sad, it never does leave permanently, so making a song about it and taking a different look on it is a really cool move, not to mention it’s a shit hot tune. I feel incredibly lucky to feature on it as Alfie will defo have a legends slot at glasto in 30 years.”
Templeman’s girlfriend, Sitara, is also credited for a background vocal, which adds up such mysterious and sinister tone of the song. Have a listen below.
Apart from sharing a new track, the “Used to Love” rising star also took this chance to announce the release of his fourth EP. Titling it ‘Happiness in Liquid Form‘, the singer revealed the EP cover and its six-song tracklist on his social media and scheduled to release it on July 15. The forthcoming EP is also now up for pre-order and pre-save on preferred service, alongside the pre-order for a vinyl.
