Fickle Friends Are Stuck Like ‘Glue': Guest Playlist
Fickle Friends, thankfully, don't live up to their fair-weather name: Their bops are consistently charming and catchy.
Formed in 2013, the five-member British indie-pop band (comprised of vocalist Natti, bassist Harry, lead guitarist Chris, drummer Sam and keyboardist Jack) deliver effortlessly contagious, '80s-inspired feel-good pop on tunes like "Hello Hello," "Brooklyn" and "Cry Baby."
The group's latest single, however, may be their stickiest and sweetest yet: "Glue," released June 14, is neon-hued electro-pop at its most undeniable. "Cool yourself down / I think I'm getting stuck / I think I'm getting hooked on you," frontwoman Natti sings, her voice shimmering like glitter on the dance floor.
It's sure to get stuck between your ears all day. Listen below:
