TheCityIsOurs has just dropped their latest single, "Freak Like You," an electrifying and bold anthem that encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and defy societal norms. The track's gritty soundscape and powerful lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever felt out of place, sending a clear message of self-acceptance and empowerment.
Vocalist Oli Duncanson explains that the song is dedicated to people who aren’t afraid to be unapologetically themselves. For Duncanson, this song is personal. He reflects on his own experiences growing up, when he was often ridiculed for his flamboyance and queerness.
"Freak Like You is for the people who are never afraid to be 100% themselves, no matter how weird, loud, boisterous, feminine or queer they are. As they were always a light at the end of the tunnel for me growing up. I was made fun of growing up any time any sort of flamboyancy or queerness showed and it was engrained into me to be as quiet and hide it as much as possible to avoid any sort of teasing which has been hard to break off from and is still something I'm working on. But I'd like to end up being someone younger or anybody who is ashamed of their sexuality can look to who were feeling the same as me growing up" - Oli Duncanson (vocalist)
TheCityIsOurs' new single serves as a preview of their upcoming album, Will You Still Love Me?, slated for release on January 31st, 2025. Fans can expect more anthems that dig deep into emotional storytelling, offering a blend of high-energy pop-metal infused with raw honesty. The album promises to continue the band's tradition of tackling complex themes with a powerful sound, adding to the anticipation around its release.
The tracklist includes songs like "Shame," "In The Dark," "Psycho," and of course, "Freak Like You," hinting at an emotionally charged journey through themes of vulnerability, empowerment, and self-discovery.
TheCityIsOurs will be touring across Europe and the UK, bringing their dynamic sound to fans in cities like Stuttgart, Paris, Prague, Manchester, and London starting this November, leading up to their UK tour dates in March 2025.
"Freak Like You" is a defining moment for TheCityIsOurs, showcasing not just their musical evolution, but their commitment to creating music that speaks to the heart of personal struggles.
