Stereophonics guitarist Adam Zindani has released the title track of his upcoming debut solo album.
Following What About Love and Should Have Known Better, it's the third single from the record, which is due out on April 28 through Voice Of Vega Records via Absolute. It was originally due for release in March, but was rescheduled due to delays in vinyl production.
Influenced by Prince and The Rolling Stones, the mid-tempo rock track leans into '80s pop territory while offering soulful vocals. Zindani explained:
"I’ve always been influenced by lots of different music. Every artist says that, don't they, but I grew up with seven brothers and sisters and it was a very musical family. There was soul, like Marvin Gaye and big '70s groups like the Chi-Lites and Earth, Wind & Fire, and Queen and The Beatles, of course. From my brothers, I got the Specials, Bowie and everything in between. Then it was the Smiths and new age.
"I started to play the guitar when I was 16, so I was kind of a latecomer. So when I did this record, I was very much in the mind frame of not wanting it to be a rock record per se, with lots of guitars on it."
In 2022, Stereophonics released their eighth studio album, 'Oochya!', which features three co-writes by Zindani, including the single Do Ya Feel My Love.
