In a review of the track, NME said: “‘People’ is the band’s heaviest and most confrontational moment yet. “ Well my generation wanna fuck Barack Obama, living in a sauna, with my legal marijuana,” screams Matty Healy in the first verse. The second offering from ‘Notes…’ came in the form of ‘People’, a punk-inspired thrasher exploring a much heavier side to the band. More: The Big Read – The 1975: “I feel more like I’m in a punk band than ever before”.NME described it as “a bold, brave move, and one that might be accused of being cynical had The 1975 not got such form in putting world events into music faster than their peers”. We’ve heard the first taste of the new record after the band announced they’ve teamed up with environmental activist Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swede whose direct action, inspirational speeches and one-person protest inspired a global youth movement and, arguably, helped mobilise Extinction Rebellion on the track ‘The 1975’.įor this brand new version of the track, Matty Healy and George Daniel travelled to Sweden to meet with Thunberg in person, recording this brand new, emotive speech that not just shows why she’s become the world’s leading voice on climate change, but challenges listeners to rebel against the establishment. Honestly, whether it’s due to time, or just even minutes to get retrospect, we haven’t thought about that shit at all.” Have we heard any songs from The 1975’s new album? I’m always going to put out what I think is my best record, but people when they talk about it, I suppose they see it as this big deal – this ‘follow up’ to ‘A Brief Inquiry’. In a recent interview with Coup De Grace (October 10), Healy elaborated further: “I feel like people have been thinking or talking about this process of us making it in a very different way to have we have been actually making it. It will be a different thing and a different time.” Think about the amount of shit that happens in six months’ time. Six months now is the same as what three years was before. In addition, Healy told NME: “I’ve realised it’s never going to be a continuation or an association with ‘A Brief Inquiry’. I’ve gotta always want to be making my masterpiece. “My only fear is that because I’ve put this umbrella over both albums, they’ll be perceived as intrinsically connected,” he said in a Dazed interview, adding, “But that was never my intention I’m just making records. Despite touting both albums as the ‘Music For Cars’ era, Healy previously expressed his worry that they would be considered ‘intrinsically linked’, before assuring that wasn’t the case. This is where it gets slightly confusing. ‘Guys’ How is it linked to ‘A Brief Inquiry…’? ‘I Think There’s Something You Should Know’Ģ2.
