The Amazons and Royal Blood have teamed up for a new collaboration, ‘My Blood’.
Taken from The Amazons’ forthcoming new album ’21st Century Fiction’, out May 09, it was produced by Royal Blood’s Mike Kerr and features Ben Thatcher on drums.
On the track, lead singer Matt Thompson says “‘My Blood’ is an exploration into why, when you truly believe in something, you can push yourself past the point of pain. It’s not something you can intellectualise, it’s something you feel. With age comes more responsibilities, obstacles, reasons to quit. But in ‘My Blood’ I wanted to illustrate a force out of our control, deep inside of us, that forsakes that rational thinking.”
And on working with Royal Blood he adds “Mike was one of the first people I spoke to about collaborating on ’21st Century Fiction’. He’s become somewhat of a mentor over the years. He’s one of the few in the industry I can pick up the phone to and sink away the hours. I felt this album and ‘My Blood’ was the right time to dig deeper into the shared language I feel we have. And any opportunity to work with artists we respect and admire is one we want to take.”
