Andrew Cushin lays the foundations for a big year ahead of him as he shares the new single ‘Alright’. It previews his upcoming second album ‘Love Is For Everyone’, which follows on May 2nd via LAB Records. His debut ‘Waiting For The Rain’ was championed by Noel Gallagher, Pete Doherty, Sam Fender and Louis Tomlinson, while his huge hometown following in Newcastle saw him become the youngest ever Geordie to sell-out the City Hall.
Excelling at ragged indie-rock and confessional singer-songwriting, ‘Alright’ sees Andrew add another slant to his artistic style. In a blur of energy and melody, Andrew delivers the kind of classic instantly anthemic earworm that’s perfectly suited to big festival stages and indie discos alike. While it’s a fun and frenetic sound, it’s still rich with Andrew’s lived-in lyricism – in this case, being empowered to want more in life than you currently have.
Andrew says, “‘Alright’ is about the struggle of being skint. There are lines in the song that personify working to live: saving for a cheap holiday, spending time in the pub with your mates. The chorus is about striving for more than just that. ‘It’s alright if you wanna take it, but I’m not like that and I’ll never be that way.’ ‘Alright’ is a record about taking your situation and either living with it or working to make it better.
It’s a very indie song born out of one of my family asking me to write something she could dance to. If she doesn’t dance to this I’m all out of ideas.”
‘Alright’ was written solely by Andrew, and was produced by Gareth Nuttall (The K’s, Lottery Winners ).
