Razorlight have released a new single. “You Are Entering The Human Heart” is one of two new songs to be included on a new best-of album. “Razor what? The Best Of Razorlight is scheduled for release on December 9th.
“Andy [Burrows] played it to me and I was like, ‘this sounds like a hit groove’. I produced it and I’m really proud of it,” says frontman Johnny Borrell of the song. “It was a really collaborative experience making this track. I think it’s a great pop song,” adds drummer Burrows.
The band also plans to release a documentary called Fall To Pieces in December. Director Ben Lowe’s film, named after the 2006 single “Before I Fall to Pieces,” aims to show the band’s “untold story” and focuses on the band’s reunion with the original lineup in 2021.
Razorlight reunited in 2021 for the first time in over a decade with the original lineup of frontman Johnny Borrell, drummer Andy Burrows, guitarist Björn Ågren and bassist Carl Dalemo. Borrell was the only one involved in their last album, OLYMPUS SLEEPING (2018). In January, the band announced they were working on a new album. In June 2022 she already released “Call me Junior”, the first single with the new, old lineup.
Razorlight broke through as part of the so-called “Class of 2005”, a new generation of British indie rock bands that drew on new wave, garage rock and post-punk. Their debut UP ALL NIGHT was released in 2004, followed by RAZORLIGHT and their biggest hit single “America” in 2006.
