Listen to Razorlight’s punky new single, ‘Call Me Junior’
nme.comRazorlight have today (June 17) returned with a punky new single, ‘Call Me Junior’ – check it out below.Released via Atlantic Culture Records/Absolute, the new track sees the return of the original line up of the band – made up of Johnny Borrell, Andy Burrows, Björn Ågren, and Carl Dalemo – following a 10-year hiatus.Borrell, Ågren and Dalemo first formed the band in 2002, with Burrows joining in 2004.
Together, the quartet released three studio albums (2004 debut ‘Up All Night’, 2006’s self-titled follow-up and 2008’s ‘Slipway Fires’).Produced by Borrell, the new single was recorded straight to tape and was written amidst the pandemic restrictions.
It came out of a Skype writing session between the frontman and Burrows, as noted in a press release.Borrell said of the song: “I had dreamt something, and Andy sent me a very rough voice note.
I fused the 2 ideas together and we kind of had a song.”He continued: “It’s a funny thing rediscovering Razorlight; normally when writing, you find yourself thinking ‘this sounds kinda Bowie-ish or Stones-ish or Prince-ish etc – that’s cool lets do that’, but with getting back into an old writing partnership you start going ‘Oh that sounds really Razorlight-ish, cool lets do that.’ It’s great to be recording again, great to be producing and great to have the band back together.
