Declan McKenna returns with new single "Sympathy"
Debuted as BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record, Declan McKenna returns with the brand new track, "Sympathy".
Declan McKenna returns with new single "Sympathy" – 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 number two in the UK album charts, back in 2020.
“Sympathy doesn’t have a complex message, and, in itself, encourages simplicity and directness," he explains. "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.”
"Sympathy" was recorded in Los Angeles alongside producer Gianluca Buccellati, best known for his work with Arlo Parks on her Mercury Prize winning debut album, Collapsed In Sunbeams, and Lana Del Rey. The track was mixed by David Wrench (David Byrne, Jamie xx, Frank Ocean, Glass Animals).
