The Struts have teamed up with Def Leppard's Phil Collen and Joe Elliott for a collaborative single.
I Hate How Much I Want You serves as the third preview of the glam-rock quartet's upcoming LP, 'Strange Days', which is due out on October 16 via Interscope Records.
The track opens with a recording of a phone call between vocalist Luke Spiller and Elliott before bursting into a flamboyant rock anthem with a fist-raising chorus. Spiller said:
"Phil and Joe really gave the song so much personality to the point it sounds like a timeless glam rock stomper that your mum sang along to in the 70's."
"When Luke called me up and asked if I fancied lending my voice to The Struts new album I said yes before I even knew what he wanted,” Elliott added. "I've been a massive fan of the band since I first heard them so it’s not just a pleasure, it’s an honour to be part of this ‘born in Covid’ album, and what a song! Makes me feel like a kid again every time I hear it!"
Other previously shared cuts from the guest-heavy record include Strange Days with Robbie Williams and Another Hit Of Showmanship, featuring Albert Hammond Jr of the Strokes. Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello also appears on Wild Child.
