Following the announcement of the release of their third studio album 'The Light Between Us', British pop band Scouting For Girls have today unveiled the cover art for the new record.
Scouting For Girls return as one of the biggest pop bands in the world with over two million record sales, 4 Brit Awards and 2 Ivor Novello nominations, and 4 Top 10 singles. They will release 'The Light Between Us' on 3rd September 2012, preceded by first single 'Summertime In The City' on 26th August 2012.
‘The Light Between Us’ is an album full of love songs recorded in 10 studios across the world with 5 producers, and has been 2 years in the making.
Talking about the recording process, Roy Stride comments: "We wanted to make an album with a concept behind it, we tried but the songs were rubbish, so we decided to write an album of singles instead!"
Scouting For Girls, Roy, Greg and Pete, have a plan to kickstart the British summer with their new single 'Summertime In The City'. The song is three minutes of boisterous pop, witty lyrics and a chorus built for chanting back celebrating good-for-the-soul, shorts and shades days with burping brass, Blur-like bass, pounding piano and a hooky demand that it doesn’t rain.
Stride continues: “I’m counting on the song bringing the sun out. Imagine it as a telethon. The more people play it, the more the sun will shine. If it’s a hit, we’ll reach our target of endless glorious days. We could end up with an Indian Summer that lasts until November.”
'Summertime In The City' made its radio debut on Fearne Cotton’s Radio 1 show last week and looks set to follow the straight-to-the-top-of-the-charts success of 'This Aint A Love Song', the Ivor Novello-nominated first single from Scouting For Girls’s last album, 2010’s 'Everybody Wants To Be On TV'.
