Hey there, Delilah — what's it like in 2023? It's 17 years in the future, but this guy will still be singing: Plain White T's have announced their ninth studio album, previewed today by new single "Red Flags."
Plain White T's is due November 17 through Fearless Records. It follows the band's most recent LP, 2018's Parallel Universe and features the recent singles "Would You Even," "Happy" and "Spaghetti Tattoo."
"We were trying to hark back to sounds we've used in the past with a freshness," lead singer Tom Higgenson explained in a press release. "This one came from a really authentic place of understanding who we are and what we do. I'm more excited than I've been in a long time. As musicians, we're always trying to outdo ourselves or go somewhere we haven't gone before. Somehow, we figured out how to go to a fresh spot and still sound like Plain White T's."
Of "Red Flags," he added, "I was dating someone and it was going so well but in some instances, I was like, 'Wait does this girl really care? Is she giving me the signals that this is not working?' Sometimes you get so lost in love and all the good things you ignore the bad things and that's what 'Red Flags' is. I'm daydreaming about her but there are all these red flags that I am ignoring."
It would be a red flag if Plain White T's ignored the fact that Boys Like Girls are also still touring and making new music. Just a humble nostalgia-core suggestion.
Listen to the single below, where you'll also find the full album tracklist.
