New Hope Club are kicking off their new era with the release of \u2018Girl Who Does Both\u2019 and \u2018Getting Better\u2019, out today via Island Records UK. Stream and download here<\/a>. The single \u2013 written and performed by Blake, George and Reece \u2013 showcases the band\u2019s extraordinary musical evolution. The songs also mark Blake\u2019s debut as a producer, developed under the band\u2019s mentorship with multi-platinum, award-winning US producer and songwriter Ross Golan (5 Seconds of Summer, Maroon 5).<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Harking back to the contrasting A-side\/B-side dynamics of the past, the delicate Simon & Garfunkel-leaning ballad \u2018Girl Who Does Both\u2019 shows off the band\u2019s acoustic side while \u2018Getting Better\u2019 is an exuberant retro-tinged disco-pop song.
 
New Hope Club said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has been six years since we formed the band and we have grown together and become experienced musicians and writers by working with amazing people around the world. We felt that it was time to take this project by the scruff of the neck and guide our own path. We wanted to have full reigns over every decision. Writing during a pandemic had an effect on us, we felt that we needed to spread some light and positivity in a time where it was pretty hard to find.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Girl Who Does Both\u2019 hears them celebrating every side of their girl\u2019s personality, amid the boys\u2019 trademark, soaring harmonies while the catchy \u2018Getting Better\u2019 is a perfect primer for summer and the slice of pop escapism the world needs right now. Reflecting the trio\u2019s cheeky and carefree outlook and manifesting positivity, they sing, \u201cGood days are coming, coming my way\u2026 Life\u2019s getting better\u201d<\/em>. 
 
New Hope Club <\/strong>said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Girl Who Does Both\u2019 is a love note to our girlfriends. We love the little things and this song goes through all of those minor details that you fall in love with when you meet someone. \u2018Getting Better\u2019 embodies the album, it portrays exactly how we were feeling when we began this project, starting a new era. Being in the studio together, making music with our best friends, life was getting better.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Having written and performed together since their teens \u2013 and all still only 22-years old \u2013\u00a0New Hope Club\u00a0is starting a new chapter with greater clarity on their creative purpose. Inspired by great British bands they grew up listening to like\u00a0The Beatles, The Stone Roses\u00a0and\u00a0Oasis; but there are magic touches of classic sounds all over a treasure trove of new music \u2013 from sunshine 60s LA pop to reggae rhythms. Blake, George and Reece are making music that resonates, whether they write about relationships, transitioning into adulthood, or simply to spark joy.
\u00a0
The trio from Manchester had gone from playing local pub gigs to growing a devoted global fanbase, selling out headline shows everywhere from Los Angeles to New York, London to Seoul and Tokyo. They have amassed\u00a0over 2 billion global streams\u00a0and\u00a0over 250 million YouTube views. The band\u2019s 2020 self-titled debut album hit Top 5 on the UK charts, and even caught the attention of K-pop superstars\u00a0V\u00a0of\u00a0BTS\u00a0and\u00a0The Stray Kids.\u00a0
\u00a0
With a US tour kicking off in July, plenty of new music still to come, and Blake set to play\u00a0Sir Paul McCartney\u00a0in the eagerly anticipated\u00a0Brian Epstein\u00a0Beatles biopic\u00a0Midas Man<\/em><\/a>; for\u00a0New Hope Club\u00a02022 is only getting better and better.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
