Marking his exciting return, Declan McKenna has today unveiled his brand new single Sympathy as it premiered as BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record In The World. Sympathy is his first new music of the year, and the first to be lifted from the follow-up to his acclaimed second album Zeros, which debuted at #2 in the UK album chart, back in Summer 2020. Speaking about the single Declan goes on to say “Sympathy doesn’t have a complex message, and, in itself, encourages simplicity and directness. It feels like a dream about love and compassion, it wants us to let go of inhibitions and allow ourselves to truly connect with others rather than overthinking and hiding your feelings away. Or put even simpler, it’s about peace and love.” Take a watch/listen for yourselves below with the accompanying video directed by Will Hooper.
