Cannons – Starlight
Today, alternative/electro-pop band Cannons release their new song “Starlight” their fifth studio album, Everything Glows, out March 27 on Columbia Records.
Everything Glows is a powerful and entrancing fifth album from the beloved band. Written and recorded as lead singer and songwriter, Michelle Joy rebuilt her health, showcasing less the sound of a band returning from a rest, and more a trio of friends reinventing the way they create, collaborate, and sound. The album radiates a sense of camaraderie, of bearing witness to one another through travails and triumphs. The 11 songs of Everything Glows navigate heartbreak and codependence, brokenness and, ultimately, liberation, spotlighting a group that found new ways to move forward and absolute excitement in both the process and its results.
Of the upcoming album, Joy says, “Everything Glows is the most vulnerable album we’ve made. It came from taking a step back and really reflecting, both as a band and as individuals, instead of just pushing forward. That space became transformative for us, a kind of rebirth. The record is about remaining open in uncertainty and trusting that even in the darkest moments, there’s still light, something our new single and video, “Starlight,” captures.”
Cannons first gave fans a glimpse of what was to come with the first single of this era, “All I Need,” a dreamy, synth-pop track, released in October. The song encompasses the very headspace the band was in when embarking on the journey of the new album. Of the decision to make “All I Need” the lead single, Joy says, “The lyrics “falling, down again / I’m burning for you” and “all I need is your love” come from that place of being worn down to nothing, yet still reaching for the one thing that feels grounding and worth surviving for. In the middle of it all, we grew even closer as a band. Our love for each other, and the process of making music we love together, carried us through the darkness into the light, the same journey the song holds.”
Cannons will take Everything Glows to the live stage on their upcoming co-headline tour with electronic duo Bob Moses.
