‘Easier’ ng 5SOS, mapakikinggan na
“5
Seconds of Summer is taking a
dark turn.”
Nitong Huwebes, inilabas na ng banda ang kanilang new single na
Easier—isang somber, moody track tungkol sa pagpasok sa isang toxic relationship—kasama ng music video.
Sa Grant Singer-directed MV, makikita ang banda na nagtatanghal sa loob ng isang kuweba habang naghihirap sa pagkakatali, pagkalunod at iba pa. “Easier is the most confident we have been in the first song to be released off of one of our records,” pagbabahagi ng lead vocalist na si Luke Hemmings tungkol sa bagong kanta. “Visually and
sonically it feels like we took what we uncovered about ourselves as a band on the last album and honed in on that sound and aura. I truly believe that
Easier is the beginning of the best era for 5SOS.”
Kinunan ng banda—na kinabibilangan nina Luke, 22; Michael
Clifford, 23; Calum Hood, 23; at Ashton Irwin, 24 — ang video sa Bronson Caves sa Griffith Park at Angeles Abbey Memorial Park sa Southern California, na ang goal “was to bring back the purely cinematic rush of the epic video I grew up watching in the ’90s,” ayon kay Grant, na na-inspired sa four elements.
Matapos ang paglabas ng kanta, bumuhos ang suporta ng mga 5SOS fans sa social media para sa sorpresang single.
“Honestly #EASIER is so different from anything they’ve ever made but still with that 5sos sounds. And Luke’s voice [has] reached new heights. They all keep getting better and better and I’m honestly here for it all,” pagbabahagi ng isang fan.
Nakatakdang ilunsad ng grupo ang kanilang tour kasama ang The Chainsmokers sa Setyembre.
