Leeds indie figureheads English Teacher have shared "R&B", marking the latest single taken from their debut album, This Could Be Texas.

Commenting ahead of the single’s arrival, front woman Lily Fontaine explained: “When I was with him I had writer’s block and to add insult to irony, the only idea I had was for an R&B top line – the genre people always assumed I worked in. As soon as he ended it, I converted that top line into the lyrics and riff for ‘R&B’, and took it to my three best mates. Putting the effort that you could potentially put into a partner, back into yourself and your career, is cool and sexy and gets you signed to Island Records and writing press quotes in a tour van in Holland and you get to meet Jools Holland. Thanks lad.”

"R&B" is the latest release from English Teacher's forthcoming debut album, following on form the likes of "Albert Road", "The World’s Biggest Paving Slab", Mastermind Specialism, and "Nearly Daffodils".

This Could Be Texas is set for release on 12 April via Island Records, and is available to pre-order now.
