Stereophonics have unveiled their new single Seems Like You Don't Know Me.

The song, which comes alongside purple-bathed visuals, is the next track to be taken from their forthcoming album Make ‘Em Laugh, Make ‘Em Cry, Make ‘Em Wait, which is set for release on 25th April 2025.

Speaking of the track, Kelly Jones said: “It always had a great melody, but in the studio I took it through three or four different versions, from very complex busy drumming refs to the finished, very sparse drum machine and juno synth version on the album, which I love. That atmosphere and the lyrics match so well together. Relationships are complex. Communication is so often broken."

The video follows the release of the band's previous single There’s Always Gonna Be Something, which is the lead track on the the new record.

Written and recorded in London, the eight-track album is described in as a hopeful and joyous album "devoid of any fat or filler" that does what it says on the cover.

Talking about how he came about the inspiration for the band's artwork, the Welsh singer revealed: "I went to New York, I visited some galleries, I saw ‘ART IS A GUARANTY OF SANITY’, a painting by Louise Bourgeois. She believed art was a form of mental healing and a way to process difficult emotions.

"The spelling caught me first, then the simplicity of the words etched onto a pink tile. So I tried scratching my title, inspired by my own art school teacher thirty years ago. And I loved it. I loved the simplicity of the pink. The pink album was born".
