Listen to the Struts’ New Song ‘Primadonna Like Me’
The Struts have released a new single, “Primadonna Like Me,” from their upcoming second album, following the launch of the lead track, "Body Talks," back in June.
“‘Primadonna Like Me’ was written about my stage character, my alter ego,” singer Luke Spiller said in a statement. “It’s this completely deluded guy running around his small town, all dressed to the nines -- a full-on 21st century dandy going around saying, ‘Don’t you know who I think I am?’”
The band’s label described the song as “A foot-stomping, disco-inflected, glitter-drenched rocker, full of Stones-y swagger and boasting a chorus that has already had audiences worldwide roaring it back at the band within seconds of hearing it."
You can listen to the song below:
The band hasn’t released any details of the follow-up to its 2016 debut LP, Everybody Wants, but Spiller recently said he thinks "everyone's really going to enjoy it." "We were very much aware that even though the band has lived with the first album and the songs that come with it for quite a while, for everyone else, it's relatively fresh," he noted.
"So I felt like it was really important to make this second album somewhat depart from the first one. Not a departure musically, I didn't want to go completely left. I think it's important to give people more of what they fall in love with."
The British band, which recently completed a tour with the Foo Fighters, begins its own North American road trip on Sept. 6 that runs until Nov. 24. You can see the full list of dates below.
