Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and legendary Stone Roses guitarist John Squire have premiered their new collaborative single “Just Another Rainbow“.
The Manchester legends will release a full collaborative album (TBA) which started out in Squire’s Macclesfield studio and took shape in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin, who also plays bass on the album, alongside drummer Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M., Atoms For Peace).

Liam Gallagher said in a press release: “I think John’s a top songwriter. Everyone always bangs on about him as a guitarist, but he’s a top songwriter too, man, no two ways about it as far as I’m concerned. There’s not enough of his music out there, whether it’s with the Roses or himself. It’s good to see him back writing songs and f***ing good ones. The melodies are mega and then the guitars are a given. But I think even when you take all the f***ing guitars off, you can play the songs all on acoustic and they’ll all still blow your mind.”
Off the single, John Squire said: “To me the most obvious take on Just Another Rainbow is that it’s about disappointment, and the sentiment is that you never get what you really want. But I don’t like to explain songs, I think that’s the privilege of the listener, it’s whatever you want it to be. To me, it’s also one of the most uplifting tracks we’ve made together, which is weird.”
