Matty Healy

The 1975’s fans are obsessed with “every f***ing song” by the pop/rock band, says lead singer Matty Healy. That gives the band no reason to backtrack over content they’ve already created on topics from politics to climate change, addiction and religion. But their latest album, Notes On A Conditional Form, released May 22, dives even deeper with a breath of added vulnerability. Notes’ first single was a hard-rock rager titled “People,” followed by “Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America,” an acoustic track that speaks to strict religious views on sexuality. The band topped off their pre-releases with the bubbly “If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know), which fans have already declared one of the band’s best thus far. “By now, I expect people expect the unexpected to a certain extent with us,” Healy told Newsweek. “Our first [self-titled, concept-driven] album is still the odd one out. I think if we’d gone from the EPS to the second album to the third album to the fourth album, this idea of having no genre would have made total sense from the beginning.”
