Lawson have returned with a fresh pop number, “Four Letters“. Hot on the heels of their successful comeback after over 1 million album sales on their debut, Lawson’s most recent three singles, “Lovers”, “Animals” and “She Don’t Even Know” released in the past couple of months have all seen great playlisting spots on Spotify, Apple Music and KKBOX across Asia.
On the new track singer Andy Brown said, “Four letters is a song about Lost Love, an anthemic, lead guitar driven pop track showcasing heartfelt lyrics and emotional melodies.”
The band have also just announced a full 10 track concert production featuring classic Lawson hits, and new songs + a live group Q&A with the band after the show, along with limited edition t-shirts, exclusive signed CDs of the recording and ‘live’ meet & greet options also available. The show will go live at 3AM (GMT +8) on September 7th. The entire experience will be available online for 24 hours after the live stream has ended, all ticket holders will have access to this.
Lawson – completed by Joel Peat (guitar), Ryan Fletcher (bass) and Adam Pitts (drums) – reunited from their hiatus in 2018 to headline a show which sold out in a matter of minutes. Still the best of friends, the reaction they received inspired them to start a new chapter in their career. As Andy recalls fondly, “I think the look on people’s faces and the fun we all had together that night made us realise how much we love and miss our fans and each other. We have all been busy with different things the past few years but it felt like now was the perfect time to get back in the studio and just enjoy making music together again.”
That return gathered even more pace when they shared the tongue-in-cheek documentary ‘Lawson – Where Are They Now?’. A playful parody of the music documentary, the video featured guests including Robbie Williams, Rick Astley and Radio 1’s Scott Mills, and quickly started trending on Twitter.
Four years is a long time in music, but Lawson’s absence has produced a mature, refined and exciting new sound. Newly signed to Cooking Vinyl, they’re set to add to a career which has already encompassed 50 million streams on Spotify and 100 million views on YouTube.
