The 1975 – I’m In Love With You

The 1975 by Samuel Bradley

The 1975 by Samuel Bradley

Manchester band The 1975 share new single ‘I’m In Love With You,’ the third track from their highly anticipated forthcoming new album ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’.

The Samuel Bradley-directed video is a visual sequel to the ‘Change of Heart’ video. Exaggerated in a “Can we really ever find true love?” kind of way, but equally an uplifting endeavour, it features a cameo performance from Phoebe Bridgers and has some perfectly timed comedic moments thanks to frontman Matt Healy.

Released on 14 October via Dirty Hit, you can pre-order the album here.

Which brings us nicely onto their new single, ‘Smile’; a track “about finding something you thought you’d lost forever. It’s about that moment when you lock eyes with your best friend or loved one. You know you’re home and you can’t help but smile.”
