Stone on the BBC Music Introducing Stage @ Leeds Festival 2021 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Live4ever’s photo coverage from last weekend’s Leeds Festival continues with one of the weekend’s undoubted highlights, Stone.
Liverpool band Stone were performing on the BBC Music Introducing Stage during Day 1 of Leeds Festival just a few days after their new single Let’s Dance To The Real Thing had received its premiere by Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music.
“The song’s main theme centres around a distaste for the uninspired and disingenuous side of a lot of modern pop music,” they said of it.
“Whilst this is of course not true of all of modern pop music – the hook implores for the feeling of authenticity and a greater listener connection with artists – Let’s Dance to the Real Thing.”
“Cueing comparisons to great rock and pop acts of the 20th century, the song questions why despite how much our consumption of music grows, why there seems to be a lack of longevity for many hits compared to decades previous.”
