Today, the legendary Stereophonics share the music video for their latest single ‘There’s Always Gonna Be Something’, the first instalment from their forthcoming album ‘Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait, watch it here.’. Due for release on 25th April 2025 via EMI, the album is available to pre-order here.
Set against the backdrop of Hampshire’s Broadlands Estate, the video for ‘There’s Always Gonna Be Something’ sees the band united, as they play together in the estate’s Orangery and grounds. The video was filmed in infrared to reveal a stunning pink tinged world.
With three decades and a wealth of record-breaking achievements under their belts, including 8 number 1 albums, Stereophonics have earned their status and respect amongst their fans, peers and artists from across the musical generations, ranging from Bob Dylan to David Bowie to Dua Lipa. In 2025, the band mark their anticipated return with ‘Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait’, a tight and heavy-hitting eight track record. Written and recorded in London, it is an album devoid of any fat or filler. It is at once clean and precise. Hopeful and joyous. It does what it says on the cover. You Laugh, You Cry, You Wait.
As with previous album artwork, Kelly has gravitated towards different art forms to influence the project’s aesthetic, whether that be paintings, books or films. For “Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait”, it was a similar process, Kelly recounts.
“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”.
With a world tour imminent this year which has already seen the band sell over 300,000 tickets, as well as play some of their biggest shows around the world to date, the band continue to cement their position as one of our most enduring and loved bands. Their knack for blending rock sensibilities with soaring melodies keeps their sound vital, while Kelly Jones’ ever-introspective lyrics continue to resonate with each passing year.
Stereophonics have never been content to rest on their laurels, and this year’s performances promise to be some of their most dynamic yet.
