I first wrote ‘Late To The Party’ over a couple of solo sittings in my studio, mumbling out the lyrics while playing drums.“A few months later I sent the song to Declan – for me he is one of the absolute greats, a properly timeless artist & writer.
We worked on the song remotely at first, sending stems back & forth and then jumped in the studio for a day to dismantle the song & put it all back together.
Dec’s parts & energy added so much to the track for me and after months of revisiting it ‘Late To The Party’ was suddenly complete.”Listen to the new track here and check out the tracklisting for the new album below:The ‘Everybody Needs A Hero’ tracklisting is:‘Both Can Be True’‘Sound Of Letting Go’‘Little Chaos’‘Backseat Driver’‘The Hit’‘Simple’‘Late To The Party’ feat.
