London Grammar recently shared their new single ‘Fakest Bitch’ last month which marked the fourth preview of the group’s fourth studio album. The track arrived after London Grammar’s 2024 singles ‘Into Gold’, ‘Kind Of Man’ and ‘House’. They’ll all appear on the forthcoming ‘The Greatest Love’, which follows on from 2021’s ‘Californian Soil’.
This summer has seen London Grammar headline Latitude Festival and top the bill on the Park Stage at Glastonbury 2024. In other news, they delivered a cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’ recently for BBC Radio 1.
Speaking to NME in April 2023, band member Dot Major teased that London Grammar were “definitely getting there” with their next full-length project. “We’re all really excited, because it’s been a little while – as it always is with us,” he explained.
Guitarist Dan Rothman told NME in July 2022 that the trio had “been working on” their fourth album throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Similarly, London Grammar previously hinted in an interview with NME that their next LP could be their “best one yet”. At the time, frontwoman Reid said it would contain “a lot of deep, philosophical questions about life, relationships and love”.
As for Mayberry, last year, the Chvrches frontwoman embarked on her solo career. Previously speaking to NME about the venture, Mayberry shared: “There’s always nervousness. For any frontperson in a band, but especially a woman, as soon as you say the words ‘solo material’ people get very upset with you. I feel like every second sentence is, ‘I’m not breaking up the band, guys, however…’
“But we’re lucky enough to have fans that care so much that they don’t want it to break up. I feel grateful, but I’m trying to be reassuring to them – ‘Just give us a couple more years guys, it’s going to be fine’.”
She also shared that her solo material – which she previously described as “fun, freaky, sad, weird, joyful” – was easy to compartmentalise as “it was born out of things that I couldn’t or wouldn’t write in the band”.
So far, Mayberry has released three singles, 2023’s ‘Are You Awake’ and ‘Shame’ as well as 2024’s ‘Change Shapes’.
