Miles Kane - Can You See Me Now

Watch the video for the Scouse rocker's latest single and watch him discuss his new material with Radio X's Gordon Smart.

Miles Kane has returned with a new single Can You See Me Now, and its accompanying video.

Watch the video above, which features footage from across his live shows.

The Rascals rocker may have just released his Coup de Grace in 2018, but he's back with new material this year, explaining to Radio X's Gordon Smart: "So, I had January off from gigging and a bit of February and I just got in this real creative space, and I was just coming in here everyday and just writing these tunes and we've got quite a lot of songs".

He added: "I just wanted to put something new out to tide us through to another album and it was just a song I wanted to put out for the summer.

"It's sort of a little add on to Coup de Grace. It was written in January or February and it's a song about being confident in where you're at in life and just singing about it."

Watch our interview with Miles Kane below:

After Gordon Smart asked if there was a Queens of The Stone Age-esque influence on the record, Kane also revealed that the band's bassist Mikey Shoes was staying at his home.

"He was staying in my house while they were on tour over here, 'cause I was away and I love Mikey I think their new tunes are great. I love that song Bad Things that they've got out now."

The Last Shadow Puppets rocker added: "I guess it's got a bit of that riff on it. It's got that sort of glammy swing thing. What I'm kind of into on this new one is the delivery of the lyrics on the verses and sort of experimenting with new styles of throwing it out there."
