IAN SWEET and Porridge Radio have joined forces for a new single, ‘Everyone’s a Superstar’. The collaborative track arrives as part of Abbey Road Studios’ annual Amplify x Pitchfork London series. Check it out below.
Discussing the new single, IAN SWEET’s Jilian Medford said: “We all went into this day with no expectations but also wide eyes and a lot of excitement! To be at Abbey Road was a dream, and to be reunited with Porridge Radio was also a dream, so it was so fun to see our old friends again in a totally new context and to make something special together. We all clicked in a really magical way right off the bat. Everyone sort of took their places and fit in where they had to. We came out of it with something I feel so proud of, and something I never knew would exist. Writing with Dana and seeing her process as a lyricist was really enlightening as well. It had been a long time since I’d written lyrics with someone else…I was excited to see where her mind went and how our two styles found one unique voice together.”
Porridge Radio added: “It was amazing to come into a room of 7 musicians with absolutely no idea what was going to happen and lock-in together to write and record a song that we actually all love in one day. Creatively it was so exciting and such a fun process and we’re so proud of what we made.”
IAN SWEET’s most recent album was last year’s SUCKER. Porridge Radio dropped their latest LP, Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky, in 2022.
