Yes, you read that title right—New Hope Club are back! If, like us, you’ve been craving new music from the British trio since their Getting Better album, which brought together their iconic singles from the past two years, such as ‘Getting Better’ and the heartwarming ‘Just Don’t Know It Yet,‘ the wait is finally over. On September 6th, the boys finally released ‘Trouble in Paradise’—and it’s safe to say, our paradise is officially restored. Let’s dive into everything we love about the new single and what it means for New Hope Club’s highly anticipated return.
It’s a fan favorite, and it has been for three years
We’ve been patient, but as they say, all good things come to those who wait. And many fans will recognize ‘Trouble in Paradise’ from the moment you press play. Why? Well… Blake, Reece, and George introduced this gem during their 2021 world tour, where it instantly became a fan favorite even though it was never released.
The band explained in their latest press release: “Fans knew all of the words after the first show and never stopped trolling our comments asking us to release.” With the wait for this song’s release officially over, we no longer need to rely on pixelated fancams from 2021, and in HD, it sounds even better than we all remembered.
‘Trouble In Paradise’ marks a new chapter for New Hope Club
The new track represents a fresh new era for the band. Originally written when the guys first decided to move to Los Angeles, ‘Trouble in Paradise’ channels the frustration of relationships that start with promise but unravel over time. While the lyrics explore those moments of disillusionment, the upbeat, catchy, and beachy sound takes us straight back to the summer.
The band describes this juxtaposition as a conscious choice, only proving their experience in the industry and why their return marks their new era: “While the lyrics are about something that makes you want to scream into your pillow, we wanted to make the sound something completely different, something you can dance and feel empowered by.”
Blurring the lines between reality and paradise
We appreciate how the boys play with the contrast between the track’s message and its upbeat sound, creating a new, fresh vibe to their discography. The song goes beyond only relationships – for the band, it also mirrored how their move to Los Angeles wasn’t the paradise it’s often portrayed as in the media. The broader meaning makes the track feel even more relatable, as anyone can connect to the theme of discovering things aren’t always as they seem. This message, across a serotonin-boosting sound, makes us appreciate ‘Trouble In Paradise’ even more.
Setting the stage for tour
The new song doesn’t just mark their return to digital space; they are also about to embark on their upcoming tour set for September and October, where the trio will be headlining shows across the UK and US.
With four dates in the UK and six in the US, we’re counting down the days when we can belt out ‘Trouble In Paradise’ live and see the boys perform again. You can go ahead and grab your tickets here!
