A man who needs no introduction, especially on British shores, the former Oasis frontman returns to action with his third solo LP this week – and it might ...
His first two solo albums have both included moments of genuine brilliance, but his songwriting has gone from strength to strength over the course of three solo albums, clearly benefiting from the influence of working with people like Greg Kusrtin and Andrew Wyatt, who do a great job on the production side here too. As a body of work, this is hands-down Liam Gallagher’s best record yet. You’d expect to find plenty of rockers on a Liam Gallagher album and you won’t be disappointed on that front, with songs like ‘Everything’s Electric’ and the title track fitting that bill nicely, as well as the album’s closing track ‘Wave’, which includes a cheeky lyrical nod to his long-running feud with Noel Gallagher: “My brother don’t like me, he’s said it before / Who threw the first stone, and who’s keeping score?”
Today, Liam Gallagher spoke to Zoe Ball on The Radio 2 Breakfast Show. He talked about his forthcoming Knebworth show: “I'll be behaving the first night ...
When is it, Sunday?... I’ll have just done Knebworth, bless him, I might give him a shout out, dedicate one of his songs to him. “She didn’t want that by the way, she said ‘Get it off’, I said ‘No, get it on’.

Still, there is something of the streetfighter’s bravura about the trilogy of records that have paved the path for his second accession to the throne. As with their forefathers Lennon and McCartney, Noel and Liam Gallagher have a liking for talking to each other through song. Bonehead – a Promethean figure in the mythology of Oasis – stood beside him, ice-cool, one of four axe-men riffing on the Stones-inflected track.
Fresh off the back of his collaboration with adidas Spezial, Liam Gallagher is back and ready to provide us with new music and a trio of clothing link-ups.
Highlights from the collection include a selection of smocks designed by Nigel Cabourn himself. To mark the launch of his latest solo album, Manchester's finest frontman has collaborated with a range of brands and designers for a unique apparel collection. His latest solo album, C'mon You Know, has just debuted across streaming sites, and it seems Gallagher is celebrating the only way he knows best.
Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has shared his new album 'C'mon You Know' which includes the hit singles 'Everything's Electric' and 'Better Days'.
The album gets off to a surprising start with the help of a children’s choir on ‘More Power’, which is Gallagher at his most tender and vulnerable. Although sonically it’s different from his former outfit, Gallagher is still emitting that same infectious breed of optimism that made Oasis the defining act of their era. The record is experimental by Gallagher’s standards, and while it’s not reinventing the wheel or completely mind-altering, it’s a much more fulfilling listen than his previous two attempts. Admittedly, I found his previous two albums largely stale, playing to the masses and uninspiring. ‘Diamond In The Dark’ is a top-down, driving anthem while basking in the summer sun with a slice of psychedelia thrown in for good measure. While the pair of shows at Knebworth play into his previous glories with Oasis, Gallagher is much more than a nostalgia act.

“Everything’s Electric” (his highest charting UK solo single to date) is the result of Liam challenging Greg Kurstin and Dave Grohl to write a song that melds the thunderous dynamics of Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” with the spiralling tension of The Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter.” The record’s title track has Liam’s immediately addictive edge, but it’s full of unexpected sonic touches: surging Motown-tinged gospel backing vocals, shrieking saxophone from Ezra Koenig, and vintage Moog synths heightening the sonic maelstrom. The album’s final words say it all as he signs off with “I can only offer you my love.” While Liam Gallagher on stage is pretty much the same force of nature that he was almost thirty years ago, C’MON YOU KNOW is full of lyrics which are more likely to extend a comforting hug than instigate conflict. Liam Gallagher’s first two solo U.K. #1 studio albums – As You Were and Why Me? Why Not. – maximized the potential of a simple formula: team Liam’s era-defining voice up with some trusted collaborators, and add some fresh impetus to his classic ‘60s and rock ‘n’ roll influences. If you’re going to start doing stuff like that on your third album, it helps if there’s a bit of Covid about. Initially inspired by regular collaborator Andrew Wyatt’s off-kilter bursts of creativity, C’MON YOU KNOW instead takes a few weirder, wilder turns.
Launched in collaboration with Selfridges, the collection coincides with the release of Gallagher's third solo album C'mon You Know.
The campaign also presented a breakthrough opportunity for the new wave of fashion designers. The collection can be viewed on the official website of Selfridges. Some items were designed by Liam Gallagher for Nigel Cabourn.
Liam recently revealed he hasn't seen his brother and former Oasis bandmate for 10 years.
Start your Independent Premium subscription today. In an interview with Esquire published this month, Liam said he hadn’t seen his brother and former Oasis bandmate in about 10 years. It also happens to fall on Noel’s 55th birthday (29 May). Asked by Zoe Ball on The Radio 2 Breakfast Show whether the singer (49) would be sending his older brother a card or a text on his birthday, Liam replied: “Nah nah nah.

He told The Matt Morgan Podcast: “Liam gave us a load of clobber, not just me, he gave the band it. “He went f***ing mental. “Is it?” Liam replied quickly. Liam Gallagher was taken by surprise on the Zoe Ball Breakfast show this morning when he learned it was his brother Noel Gallagher’s birthday. He said, “If you didn’t f***ing want it, you should have just said you didn’t f***ing want it, you c***.’” “No, no, no,” he confirmed briefly, trailing off.
He's a rock star—one of the last, according to a recent comment from Foo Fighters founder Dave Grohl—and he doesn't have anything left to prove. “I appreciate ...
“No way, no way,” he insists. “You wanna be like the Beatles. You want to have tons of girls and be drinking at all the fancy places and then, obviously, fame kicks in. “When you’re young, you just wanna be in a band. You just wanna be playing music,” he says. “I think Oasis wouldn’t be allowed to live in this world we’re living in now,” he adds.

So what better time to deliver not only C’mon You Know, a caricature third album accentuating every last sneer-propelled, Revolver-informed ingredient that his Oasis-weaned fan base expect, but also Down By The River Thames’s heroic record of his audacious live show. Liam Gallagher: ‘Would I give Noel a kidney? The formula works. Fans will only need to give this album a couple of spins before they’ll be set to sing along in the festival fields. There are a few textural surprises too: moments of reggae and dub amid the thrash of a paranoid “I’m Free”, a kooky vibe to “It Was Not Meant to Be”, and some unexpected folky picking on “Moscow Rules”. Things end on a blissed out “Sweet Children”, which channels John Lennon’s wheel-spinning post-Beatles sound. This is pastiche at its very best, absorbing the memories of the song’s influences and also refracting the vulnerability and longing of the now.
The 49-year-old singer is returning to the iconic venue in June, having previously played there with Oasis in 1996, and Liam has suggested he could dedicate ...

If I was on that jungle programme [I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!], the ratings would go through the roof. I could get someone to play Noel’s guitar parts 10 a penny. I was 14, 15, having a cigarette with my mates, and a few lads came down from another school, hoods up, and one of them whacked me on the head with a hammer. Do I think he’d give me one of his? He and all his celebrity mates just get up their own arses. Of course I would. Noel can’t get anyone to sing like me. It’s the voice that people want to hear. Not a big, massive mallet – one of those little small ones. My cats – Sid and Nancy – are always bringing in mice, which I know is supposed to be a present, but I just can’t handle it. Things that go faster than me can do one. My girlfriend at the time was really into Madonna.
The former Oasis frontman admitted he'd help his estranged brother "without a doubt".
You put a few new songs in there, but you’ve got to play the hits." Liam is set to play a homecoming show at Manchester's Etihad stadium and two dates at Knebworth next week. He went on: "Am I surprised I’ve ended up more successful? He and all his celebrity mates just get up their own arses. I’d give you one as well, mate." Asked by one fan if he would give his brother a kidney if he was the only donor match and Noel's life depended on it, the.
Def Leppard nail the winning formula, Sean Paul keeps his legacy alight, Jeshi decries austerity Britain, Just Mustard dazzle from Dublin.
McRae is primed for success, though, and while her songs can verge on self-indulgence – there’s a fair amount of navel-gazing at play – they’ll surely speak to a teenage audience. In Broken, Templeman feels that he’s “malfunctioning”, while Do It sees him having a “midlife crisis at the age of 18”. His answer? Largely written at his parents’ home in Bedfordshire, Mellow Moon sounds like the work of an indie, slightly funky Ed Sheeran. In singing about mental health and – as he puts it – “all the little wobbles of being a teen and figuring yourself out”, Templeman has become something of a Gen Z hero with a sizeable social media following. Bluegrass-country giant Alison Krauss (currently touring with former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant) guests on two tracks, the best of which is This Guitar. It’s a subtle (by Def Leppard standards) ballad that could well turn out to be a smash in the Nashville country charts. One of these, Goodbye For Good This Time, is a symphonic epic that sounds oddly like the Manic Street Preachers. It’s great, although whether it’ll have them punching the air in the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis remains to be seen. Jeshi doesn’t mince his words on Universal Credit. The references are frank, from the satirical title (he made the album while receiving Universal Credit during the pandemic, and the cover depicts him receiving a giant cheque for £324.84, the current monthly allowance, from besuited men in celebratory style) to the succinct writing within. The choruses on songs such as Kick and Fire It Up are suitably huge (their PR blurb describes the first song as an “anthemic stadium-ready frenzy”, and it’s not far off). You can imagine these songs going down a treat in the balmy open-air vastness of the FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland or the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. With a guestlist of bright new talent and established legends, it maintains Sean Paul’s legacy and keeps the dancehall flame alight. He has a singular look that he carries off with panache, a powerful voice that mixes raw attack with bittersweet tinges of vulnerability, and enough swagger to solve the nation’s energy crisis if only we could power the national grid on self-belief. He might show his age on gyrating tracks like Only Fanz (a swaying reggae-infused song about online sex work that sees him singing “she don’t work but I know she works for that”) while Bounce is the sort of typical sexed up anthem of lust and fantasy we’ve come to expect. Every pop superstar, from Little Mix to Ed Sheeran, has borrowed from the tropical flavours and sleek groove of dancehall in recent years. You can tell from the title that it’s going to be a good one.

Here's everything you need to know about Liam's huge shows at Knebworth House over the Platinum Jubilee weekend.
Talking about how the 2022 Knebworth show will compare to the 1996 dates, Liam told Moyles: "I am excited, I mean I've done it before and it was mega. There will be plenty of event signage. Liam's last appearance at Knebworth was on Sunday 11th August 1996, when Oasis played the second of two nights at the location. Liam Gallagher's two Knebworth House shows are going to be THE event of Summer 2022. "So I get the chance to do it again. I think the time is now or never."

'Maybe we'll just bake some bread and that or a cake or throw strawberries at each other. However, he couldn't resist a dig at his sibling as he added: 'Do I think he’d give me one of his? The minute he does that we'll move on. He thinks I'm both the problems. He’s my brother, man, and I love him. And in a somewhat surprising response amid the ongoing dispute, Liam said: 'Without a doubt.
