The Artistic, And Sometimes Unwieldy, Connection Between The Two Has Been ReEstablished. It Has Been A Heartening Experience For Those Involved. ‘My Trust With Andy Was At Absolute Zero So To Get That Back Was Really Inspiring,’ Says Borrell. ‘That’s Never Happened Before And It Made Me Think A Lot About My Life, Like If I Can Get My Trust Back With Andy, I Could Do It With Anybody.’ ‘Whilst Our Relationship Hasn’t Always Been Plain Sailing, When Johnny And I Sit Down To Write Music Together, There’s A Magic That Happens. I’m So Grateful To Have Him And The Band Back In My Life,’ Agrees Burrows.The First Fruits Of Their Revitalised Creativity Came With The OneOff Single ‘Call Me Junior’ Earlier This Year, A Punchy, Energetic IndieRock Gem, And Two New Songs On Razorwhat Broaden The Sonic Horizons Further.Lead Single ‘You Are Entering The Human Heart’ Is Bittersweet PianoPop That, In A Sweet Summation Of Their Coming Back Together, Features Duel Vocals From Borrell And Burrows. ‘Andy Played It To Me And I Was Like, ‘This Sounds Like A Hit Groove’,’ Says Borrell. ‘I Produced It And I Feel Really Proud Of It.’ ‘It Was A Really Collaborative Experience Doing That Track,’ Says Burrows. ‘I Think It’s A Great Pop Song.’ The Snarling ‘Violence Forever’, Meanwhile, Was Born Out Of A Searing Guitar Riff From Aringgren And Captures The Raw Intensity Of The Quartet In A Room Together. Both Bode Well For The Future. ‘I Think Our Best Single Is One We Haven’t Done Yet,’ Says Borrell. ‘Hopefully We’ll Do The Best Of And Get More Music Out Next Year, Then Tour In The Spring. It’s Gonna Be Interesting, That’s All I Can Say.’ Never A Dull Moment. Writing A New Ending For Themselves, Razorlight Are Back To Cast Out The Boring In Your Life.
