Led by ex-Kaiser Chiefs’ songwriter/drummer, and multi-platinum musician, Nick Hodgson, Everyone Says Hi have returned this week with their brand new single Communication. The five-piece released their self-titled debut album in January of this year and look to continue momentum with another funky, earworm effort. Speaking about the release, Nick Hodgson says: “The origin of Communication has three parts: One: I bought Albert Hammond Jr’s old guitar. I kept playing it, and songs started to appear - maybe they’re his songs? Two: Around the same time, I was trying to play Lola Young’s ‘Messy’ on guitar. I hit the wrong chord, but that mistake became the starting point for the ‘Communication’ chords. Three: While writing the chorus on that same guitar, I kept getting WhatsApp messages and emails - reminders of all these things I had to do. I kept responding and more would come in. I was still playing guitar and singing and suddenly the chorus lyric popped out. ‘Communication is getting me down.’I wrote the words with Justin Parker. The bass and drums were the thing that really took the most time in the studio. Then really late in the process, our bassist (Pete Denton) played a new bassline. I remember we all looked at each other and I’m hesitant to say, some dancing did occur. That was the final bit of the puzzle, it all fell into place after that.” Take a listen below.
