The Coronas are back with a brand-new single ‘Strive’, set for release to the world on May 20th.
Filled with melody, groove, synths and saxophone solos, Strive is an indie-pop song with a distinctly eighties feel.
It was written during the first Irish lockdown (thanks to that unfortunately named virus!) and lyrically it hints at being there for someone no matter what difficulties surround the relationship : ‘I always want you to strive, it’s just a messed-up time,’ exclaims lead singer Danny in the chorus.
The band spent a few weeks this year holed up in Eastcote Studios in London’s Kensal Rise recording their forthcoming album with producer George Murphy (The Specials, Ellie Goulding, Mumford and Sons) and mixing with Grammy-winning mixer Peter Katis.
Danny explains, “We’ve worked with George before so it was just really comfortable.
It was probably one of the best recording experiences we’ve ever had as a band.
I think after the two years of the pandemic, it felt so good to be back in studio, locked away from the world, and just being a band again.
It’s such an exciting time for us now, with an album we’re so proud of coming out in the autumn, some huge shows and festivals coming this summer, and then the world tour starting at the end of September.”
