Hot on the heels of his debut LP and follow-up single, Fake Laugh aka Kamran Khan is primed to release a new double A-Side. The driving, dream-pop bop that is ‘Honesty’ features guest vocals from Poppy Hankin of previous tour-mates Girl Ray, whilst the skittish, social commentary of ‘Surrounded’ hurtles along, set against a backdrop of razor-sharp melodies and instant-hit hooks. The singles will be released digitally – ‘Honesty’ on 1st February and ‘Surrounded’ on 8th March – with the physical 7″ release on 15th March (Headcount Records).
Khan explains… “Lyrically, Honesty isn’t really a song about honesty. It’s more about being frustrated with someone who lacks the ability to keep their thoughts in their head, #nofilter, you know? I think it contains one of the larger choruses I’ve written, Theo Verney who I worked on the single with, kept comparing it to Justin Timberlake during recording. It’s a lofty comparison but I’m happy to accept it.“
