British rocker Liam Gallagher and The Stone Roses‘ John Squire have released their first single together, “Just Another Rainbow“. Stream it below.
In a press release, Gallagher commented: “I think John’s a top songwriter. Everyone always bangs on about him as a guitarist, but he’s a top songwriter too, man, no two ways about it as far as I’m concerned. There’s not enough of his music out there, whether it’s with the Roses or himself. It’s good to see him back writing songs and fucking good ones. The melodies are mega and then the guitars are a given. But I think even when you take all the fucking guitars off, you can play the songs all on acoustic and they’ll all still blow your mind.”
Squire added, “To me, the most obvious take on ‘Just Another Rainbow’ is that it’s about disappointment, and the sentiment is that you never get what you really want,” adding that it’s “one of the most uplifting tracks we’ve made together, which is weird.”
The song will be the lead single from Gallagher and Squire’s forthcoming collaborative album, which has been confirmed by the pair but has yet to be officially announced. The LP was recorded at Squire’s studio in Macclesfield, UK, and produced by Greg Kurstin.
Although this is Gallagher and Squire’s first single together, the guitarist joined Gallagher on stage at Knebworth Park in 2022 to perform Oasis‘ “Champagne Supernova”.
