Kasabian's long-awaited album 'Act III' has been delayed – but trust us, it'll be worth the wait! The Leicester rockers have pushed back their release date to September 4, giving themselves a few extra weeks to get everything just right. "Albums are forever," Serge Pizzorno reminds us, and we're convinced that Kasabian will stop at nothing to create something truly special.
And what better way to whet our appetites than with the explosive new single 'Superpowers', a G-Funk-infused banger that's got everyone buzzing? According to Pizzorno, this track was years in the making – and it shows. Inspired by Snoop Dogg's classic 'Doggy Style' album, Kasabian have cooked up a sonic masterpiece that's equal parts funky, infectious, and unapologetically rock 'n' roll.
The 'Superpowers' promo video is nothing short of genius, featuring the incomparable Stephen Graham delivering the song's lyrics in an audition-tape style that's both hilarious and heart-wrenching. We love how Pizzorno raves about working with Graham: "It was a real privilege to share the stage (or in this case, the screen) with one of Britain's most talented actors." The chemistry between them is undeniable – and it brings an added layer of depth to the song.
We've been teased glimpses of what 'Act III' has in store for us, from Pizzorno's hints about "all that's great about Kasabian" to his wild claim that a certain track will have you dancing like a goth bat within four seconds. Okay, it sounds mental – but we're ready to believe the hype! And with their summer festival schedule still on track (45,000 fans at Finsbury Park in July, anyone?), Kasabian are proving they're not about to let a little delay get in the way of bringing their A-game.
