The legendary Stereophonics unveil their new single ‘Seems Like You Don’t Know Me’, which received its first airplay this morning on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Scott Mills. Listen here. The track is the second instalment from their highly anticipated forthcoming album ‘Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait, due for release on 25th April 2025 – pre-order here.
‘Seems Like You Don’t Know Me’ is a brand new sonic superstar welcomed into the massive arsenal of bangers from Stereophonics’ third decade. It mashes up nostalgic synths and drum machines with acoustic guitar lead breaks, glued together with a spacious yet demanding vocal, offering questions on relationships and how much we really know one another.
Kelly Jones comments on the song: “It always had a great melody, but in the studio I took it through three or four different versions, from very complex busy drumming refs to the finished, very sparse drum machine and juno synth version on the album, which I love. That atmosphere and the lyrics match so well together. Relationships are complex. Communication is so often broken.”
With three decades of groundbreaking achievements under their belts, and a legacy of 8 number 1 albums, Stereophonics have earned their status and respect amongst their fans, peers and artists from across the musical generations, ranging from Bob Dylan to David Bowie to Dua Lipa. In 2025, the band mark their anticipated return with ‘Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait’, a tight and heavy-hitting eight track record. Written and recorded in London, the album is lean, direct, and free from filler. It is at once clean and precise. Hopeful and joyous. It perfectly embodies the emotions captured in its title. You laugh. You cry. You wait.
