Good Neighbours Return with New Single ‘People Need People’ Plus Manchester New Century Headline
Good Neighbours return this week with stirring new single ‘People Need People’ – the final preview of their debut album Blue Sky Mentality, out September 26th via Polydor Records.
Premiering on Wednesday night as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record, ‘People Need People’ is a widescreen anthem centered on friendship, solidarity and the moments we lean on each other most. With luminous synths, pulsing percussion and a soaring chorus made to be sung shoulder-to-shoulder, it’s a rousing reminder that no one has to go it alone.
Speaking about the track, the band share: “The title is everything the track is about. When we started this band, we were in and out of jobs and struggling with staying afloat. Luckily, we had an amazing group of mates around us who we’ve seen laugh and cry when the going gets tough. The song should be an arm around the ones you love.”
‘People Need People’ follows the euphoric rush of recent singles ‘found u/me’ and ‘Suburbs’, as well as the duo’s radiant cover of The La’s ‘There She Goes’ for Amazon Music. Together, the tracks showcase the depth and range of Blue Sky Mentality – a debut album that smuggles big feelings into even bigger choruses, uniting listeners in moments of catharsis, joy and release.
