Sixpence None The Richer have shared ‘We Are Love’, marking the first new song with the group’s original line-up in 20 years.
The song is the first offering from a new EP from the US alt-rock band, who are best known for their singles ‘Kiss Me’ (1998) and ‘Breathe Your Name’ (2002). Their new EP ‘Rosemary Hill’ is set for release on October 4 via Flatiron. You can pre-order it here.
Featuring a twangy acoustic guitar paired with thunderous harmonies and sharp electric guitar riffs, “We Are Love” sees frontwoman Leigh Nash sing: “We are love, we can make it
We’re the chain you can’t break it / The long darkness had arrived / But hate here comes to sight / We are love, we can take it.”
‘Rosemary Hill’ tracklist is:
1. ‘Thread The Needle’
2. ‘Julia’
3. ‘We Are Love’
4. ‘Child And Man’
5. ‘Homeland’
6. ‘Rosemary Hill’
Sixpence None The Richer’s sixth and most recent studio album, ‘Lost In Transition’, was released in 2012. Their new track comes a month after the group announced that they will be embarking on a 2024 ‘We Are Love’ 25th anniversary North American tour.
The full original line-up – comprised of Nash, Matt Slocum, Dale Baker and Justin Cary – will perform at the upcoming shows which will include stops in Memphis, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and other locations.
