At last night’s BRIT Awards, which featured performances from the likes of Ed Sheeran, Adele, Dave, Sam Fender and Little Simz, legendary British singer-songwriter and former Oasis member Liam Gallagher performed his new single “Everything’s Electric” for the first time. The song is taken from his upcoming full-length album C’MON YOU KNOW, which will be released on May 27th. You can listen to the studio version of “Everything’s Electric” here, and you can pre-order C’MON YOU KNOW at this link. See Gallagher’s explosive performance of the song below.
“Everything’s Electric”, which was co-written with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl (who can be heard playing drums on the track), was released on February 4th, and provides quite an introduction to the sound of Gallagher’s upcoming solo album. The song is raucous and energetic, and if the singer’s BRITs performance is anything to go by, it’s a tune that’s absolutely made to blow the roof off of a stadium. It wastes no time introducing itself, commencing with a gritty guitar riff that is then carried on the shoulders of a swaggering drumbeat, making for a very Rolling Stones-esque vibe. Over the top of the buzzing instrumental, Gallagher’s familiar voice soars as he sings; “It’s hard to take it easy, underneath the red sun, everything’s electric”. The song has been largely well-received by both fans and critics, with NME awarding it a glowing five star rating.
C’MON YOU KNOW will be the singer’s third album, following on from 2019’s Why Me? Why Not. And 2017’s As You Were. Physical copies of the album will also be available for pre-order on top of the digital release, including CD, vinyl and cassette tape, in addition to some bundles, which feature a 20-page hardcover book and an art print of the C’MON YOU KNOW cover, which depicts Gallagher surrounded by a crowd of fans.
Later this year, Gallagher will be playing two sold out shows at Knebworth, where Oasis famously performed on the 9th and 10th of August 1996, to around 250,000 people. The singer is slated to perform on June 3rd and 4th, and will be supported by Kasabian, Michael Kiwanuka, Fat White Family and Goat Girl.
