HONNE Releases New Song “Backseat Driver”
London-based art-pop duo HONNE, consisting of James Hatcher (producer) and Andy Clutterbuck (vocals/producer), released the fourth single called “Backseat Driver” from their upcoming fourth studio album “OUCH” on July 12, 2024.
The new album is set to be released on September 6, 2024.
The track was written by James Hatcher and Andy Clutterbuck, and produced by HONNE.
The accompanying music video was directed by Kamil Dymek.
Andy Clutterbuck said of the song, “It was written as a result of having some therapy sessions, which ended up being more casual conversations about my life and who I was as a person. In my teens and growing up I always thought I was quite outgoing. I certainly wasn’t shy and felt lucky to have a broad range of friends in different circles. As I’ve gotten older, I feel the opposite has happened and for whatever reason I feel I’ve become much more of an introvert and for a long time I’ve felt almost ashamed of this, like it was wrong to be like this in some way, especially for someone who is one of the front people of a band. Having therapy allowed me to understand that there’s nothing wrong with the way I am and helped me change my view on being an introvert. ‘Backseat Driver’ is about coming to terms with and enjoying taking the backseat and going by unnoticed.”- He shared on social media, “It’s an emotive one about my journey coming to terms with being an introvert. It’s our reminder to you (and ourselves) that it’s okay to feel this way and you’re great just the way you are.”

The new album is their first LP in three years since the 2021 album “Let's Just Say the World Ended a Week from Now, What Would You Do?”, and comprises a 16-track.
Andy Clutterbuck said of the album, “One of the things we've been looking forward to is for this album was being able to go back to how we started. It’s very us, everything we've done is made by us, and we wanted to be across it all and take back control. It feels really nice to get it back and put your stamp on everything.” - source : Apple Music
