Liam Gallagher today shares his new single ‘Better Days’ which takes that experimental touch to a new level. It’s a shot of sunshine dopamine in audio form, as thunderous, ‘90s-style big beats add jet-fuelled propulsion to a classic crowd-pleasing anthem. Celebrating a summer in which we can all be reunited, it’s a summer song perfectly suited to receiving a huge audience reaction when Liam hits the road this summer.
Liam says, “‘Better Days’ is the sound of the summer.”
Liam also captures that spirit with the song’s official video. Joined by his band, he takes to the roof of the Manchester landmark, the historic Midland Hotel, for a full-throttle performance as crowds gather around to watch from nearby offices and the street. Given another cinematic touch as the sky turns psychedelic, it’s a video that nods to The Beatles’ legendary Apple Corps rooftop show. It was directed by the multiple Grammy nominee Paul Dugdale, whose credits include numerous major artists as varied as The Rolling Stones, Adele, Taylor Swift and Coldplay.
Reflecting the song’s positive spirit, Liam will donate all UK proceeds from the song to War Child for the rest of this year. The charity aims to protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children living through conflict, and campaigns on the root causes of conflict to help create a safer future for children in war zones across the world.
‘Better Days’, ‘Everything’s Electric’ and the title track will all feature on the ‘C’MON YOU KNOW’ album, which is perfectly positioned to become Liam’s fourth UK #1 solo album when it is released on May 27th.
That same day will also see Liam release the ‘Down By The River Thames’ live album. Originally streamed in December 2020, the show became one of the most memorable performances of the lockdown era. Liam followed the precedent set by the Sex Pistols and The Clash, and decided to hit the River Thames, armed with a boatload of attitude, a phenomenal live band (including Bonehead) and an arsenal of classic songs.
Both ‘Down By The River Thames’ and ‘C’MON YOU KNOW’ are available to pre-order HERE in a selection of value-for-money bundles. These include both albums on CD (£11.99) or standard vinyl (£34.99), as well as a bundle featuring the ‘C’MON YOU KNOW’ cassette and the ‘… River Thames’ vinyl (£24.99).
