Lightning Seeds, led by Ian Brawdy, a brilliant producer/songwriter who has played a major role in the history of UK rock since the 1980s, formed in 1989 and gained attention with their debut single "Pure", which became a Top 20 UK hit, and their first album "Cloudcuckooland". Their first album "Cloudcuckooland" attracted much attention. Their fourth album and masterpiece, "Dizzy Heights" (1996), reached No. 11 in the UK, and the single "Three Lions", which was created as the theme song for the England national soccer team, reached No. 1 in the UK. They are an important figure in the post-punk UK rock scene, and have had many revival hits to this day.The band, which has been active in the UK scene for more than 30 years with a hiatus in between, has completed its first new album in 13 years, since 2009's "Four Winds". The album has already been preceded by a single, "Sunshine," an uplifting, dreamy pop number that is sure to become this year's summer anthem and is in the Lightning Seas' signature style. The song is about the sun, the source of life. I have many times dreamed of worrying about the uncertain future of the world. But when the sun shines, everything seems more positive and hopeful. So this is a song about being optimistic and seeing the good side of things, and I hope it warms everyone's heart," says Ian himself about the single.In addition to "Sunshine," which is sure to excite the anticipation of longtime fans, the album also includes "Emily Smiles," co-written with Terry Hall of The Specials, and "Great To Be Alive" and "Live To Love You" with James Skelly of The Chorus. The album contains songs that are sure to get people talking. Most of the other songs were also written by Ian over the past few years. According to Ian in an interview with NME, the album contains both an air of positivity and sadness. And every song on the album has Ian Brawdy's sparkling pop sensibility. In conjunction with the album's release, Lightning Seeds have announced a UK tour. With the World Cup coming up this winter, "Three Lions" is sure to be in the spotlight once again. I always think of music as being like the offense and defense in soccer, or politics and life. It's all about balance.Ian Brawdy, a pop mastermind whose singles always top the charts in the U.K., is back to light up the scene with the brilliant pop sound of the Lightning Seeds!
