IAN SWEET & Porridge Radio – Everyone’s A Superstar
Today, indie heavy hitters IAN SWEET and Porridge Radio present “Everyone’s A Superstar,” a new, collaborative track as part of Abbey Road Studios’ annual Amplify x Pitchfork London series.
Speaking about the single, IAN SWEET says: “We all went into this day with no expectations but also wide eyes and a lot of excitement! To be at Abbey Road was a dream, and to be reunited with Porridge Radio was also a dream, so it was so fun to see our old friends again in a totally new context and to make something special together. We all clicked in a really magical way right off the bat. Everyone sort of took their places and fit in where they had to. We came out of it with something I feel so proud of, and something I never knew would exist. Writing with Dana and seeing her process as a lyricist was really enlightening as well. It had been a long time since I’d written lyrics with someone else…I was excited to see where her mind went and how our two styles found one unique voice together.”
Porridge Radio adds: “It was amazing to come into a room of 7 musicians with absolutely no idea what was going to happen and lock-in together to write and record a song that we actually all love in one day. Creatively it was so exciting and such a fun process and we’re so proud of what we made.”
