The tune is carried by a bright yet pensive tone, with Steele contemplating on mankind’s future above delicate fingerpicked acoustic guitar and warm synth pads, written amid the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
Steele performs in canals and forests in the accompanying music video. Here’s how to see it:
Steele begins the video with a moving message about his journey to finishing ‘Listen To The Water.’ It adds, “This solo record was a chance for me to be naked, bold, and alone.” “There was joy and sorrow, dreams and nightmares, heroes and villains, weird transformations, epiphanies, miracles, and lunacy.” I’m still alive in some way.”
Shortly after announcing ‘Listen To The Water’ – which is set for release on May 13 – Steele released its first single, ‘Common Man’, a track the artist said at the time was “about the underdog”.
“The working class, forever hustling but sometimes it gets too much,” Steele said. “But the triumph is born from that struggle and you’ll see the glory within all the moments and tests.”
Empire Of The Sun’s last studio album was 2016’s ‘Two Vines’. Steele and his Empire bandmate Littlemore reunited in 2019 for only their second-ever UK headline show, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their 2009 debut album, ‘Walking On A Dream’, which received a four-star review from NME.
