Liam Gallagher
May 27, 2022
The long-anticipated new Liam Gallagher album, C’MON YOU KNOW, dropped May 27th via Warner. It’s the third solo album from the former Oasis lead singer from 1991-2009 and it’s a bit different from the first two albums. Initially inspired by regular collaborator Andrew Wyatt’s off-kilter bursts of creativity, C’MON YOU KNOW takes a few weirder, wilder turns with references to everything from T-Rex and Hendrix to The Polyphonic Spree and The Beastie Boys. And it’s a record that’s further colored by some unexpected collaborators, including Dave Grohl, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig and Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
As Liam summarized in an interview with The Sunday Times, "It’s a bit peculiar in places, which is good: 80 per cent madness and 20 per cent classic. If you’re going to start doing stuff like that on your third album, it helps if there’s a bit of Covid about. Because if it doesn’t take off, and people go, ‘I’m not sure about this, it’s a bit weird,’ we can blame it on the virus and go back to the classic stuff."
