Alfie Templeman has shared a new song, Just A Dance.
The indie-pop collaboration leans hard into the disco and funk influences brought to the track by music icon Nile Rodgers. It marks the final preview of the London artist's new album, 'Radiosoul', which is out on Friday (June 7). Speaking about working with Rodgers, Templeman said:
"Nobody does rhythm guitar like Nile Rodgers; his music has been a massive part of my life. I went to Miami to put this one together with the man himself and learned so much about his process and how he writes hooks that never escape your head. Nile is obviously the king of all things ‘Dance,’ so to do this one with him feels like a badge of honour, a stamp of approval to join the list.
"The song came about thanks in part to Bowie. We got to talking about him and his album 'Let’s Dance' and how the title track on the surface was all about getting people moving for a while, though the song was actually about covering up your feelings. Just A Dance became such a nice, short song full of energy with such a simple message. Just enjoy the now for a while, everything will be alright. It’s all just a dance."
"I love this new song Just A Dance that I wrote and produced with Alfie Templeman," Rodgers added. "He's such a fresh and exciting guitarist and songwriter and I love working with him. He came to see me in Miami and brought the heat!"
Templeman previously teased the follow-up to 2022's 'Mellow Moon' with Beckham, Hello Lonely, Eyes Wide Shut, and its title track.
The singer-songwriter will celebrate 'Radiosoul' with a run of record store dates around its release, including stops at Bedford's Esquires, Pryzm in Kingston, Rough Trade in Bristol, Nottingham and Liverpool, Rough Trade East in London and Assai Records in Glasgow. Head here for details.
He's also scheduled new UK, European and US shows, as well as a date in Mexico City, for later in 2024. Tickets for the UK and European dates go on general sale at 10am local time on Friday (June 7).
