Lime Garden share final album preview, "Pop Star"

15 February 2024, 11:42 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Fast-rising Brighton band Lime Garden have shared "Pop Star" as the final preview of their debut album, One More Thing.

Speaking about "Pop Star", Lime Garden’s Chloe Howard said: “‘Pop Star’ was influenced by a real pop star and me not wanting to go back to my part-time job after being in the studio. On the morning of the studio session i'd watched a Tik Tok of Damon Albarn talking about how Gorillaz used the standard preset on an omnichord for “Clint Eastwood” - and then guess what I found in the studio!? - so, we figured if Damon says so we should try it! Then I sang over the demo about not wanting to go to work the day after our studio session and the lyrics stuck. The song is almost so sarcastic that it's gone full circle into honesty and my work / life imbalance. The song has got a swagger that might surprise a few people!”

"Pop Star" follows previous singles, "Mother", "I Want To Be You", "Love Song", and "Nepotism (baby)" which all feature on the forthcoming debut album, One More Thing, which was produced by Ali Chant (Perfume Genius, PJ Harvey, Yard Act).

Lime Garden's debut album, One More Thing is set for release on 16 February via So Young Records, and is available to pre-order.
