Liam Gallagher and John Squire by Tom Oxley
The duo are set to release more music this year.
Oasis legend and solo star Liam Gallagher has teamed up with ex Stone Roses guitarist and influential songwriter John Squire to release the first single of their collaboration.
Liam explains,
I think John’s a top songwriter. Everyone always bangs on about him as a guitarist, but he’s a top songwriter too, man, no two ways about it as far as I’m concerned. There’s not enough of his music out there, whether it’s with the Roses or himself. It’s good to see him back writing songs and fucking good ones. The melodies are mega and then the guitars are a given. But I think even when you take all the fucking guitars off, you can play the songs all on acoustic and they’ll all still blow your mind.
John adds,
To me the most obvious take on ‘Just Another Rainbow’ is that it’s about disappointment, and the sentiment is that you never get what you really want. But I don’t like to explain songs, I think that’s the privilege of the listener, it’s whatever you want it to be. To me, it’s also one of the most uplifting tracks we’ve made together, which is weird.
Just Another Rainbow was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin who plays bass on the record and drummer Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M., Atoms for Peace)
