Last week, The 1975 released the brand new track ‘I’m In Love With You’, the third preview of their upcoming fifth studio album, ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’. The release closely follows their triumphant return to the Reading stage, where they sought to offer themselves “at their very best” – as the title of their upcoming tour suggests – and exceedingly delivered.
Delivered alongside a monochromatic, Buster Keaton-inspired music video involving dancing, vaudeville face paint and a cheeky Phoebe Bridgers cameo, the groovy new track proves that the band are not quite finished producing your favourite new party anthems.
‘I’m In Love With You’ is our latest addition to the NME Radio A List, alongside other new releases including the Ezra Koenig-featuring single off Phoenix’s upcoming album, a clubby new preview of Shygirl’s next full-length release, and the latest jams from beabadoobee, Biig Piig, Porij, and more.

On the A List:
The 1975
‘I’m In Love With You’
The 1975 are ready for love on their new single, ‘I’m In Love With You’. As with last month’s ‘Happiness’, the nostalgic new track finds the foursome playing once again to their strengths in irresistible fashion. While there aren’t any blazing saxophone solos this time around, the same ‘80s-inflected energy that made us first fall in love with them is on full display on ‘I’m In Love With You’.
Set to a driving tempo, gentle acoustic guitars and call-and-response vocals take centre stage as frontman Matty Healy conveys his simple message of affection as if it were the most disarmingly vulnerable confession he could make, taking time to draw out the build towards the track’s declarative chorus: “I feel like I can loosen my lips / I can summarise it for you / It’s simple and it goes like this / I’m in love with you” – Eli Ordonez
