“NOW WE FEEL SPECIAL” RELEASED WEDNESDAY JUNE 10, 2026 STREAM SINGLE | WATCH MUSIC VIDEONOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2026 UK TOURTICKETS AVAILABLE FROMTHE GIG CARTEL AND CINEMA STEREONashville rockers Cinema Stereo return with their brand-new single, “Now We Feel Special,” released on Wednesday June 10th. Available now across all major streaming platforms HERE, the infectious song arrives alongside an official music video, available to watch on YouTube HERE. The single offers a tantalizing preview of Cinema Stereo’s new studio album, arriving in October. It also sets the stage for the band’s first-ever UK Headline Tour, which will see them take to the road across the UK throughout November and December. Tickets are on sale via The Gig Cartel and Cinema Stereo. “Now We Feel Special is heavily inspired by our indie rock influences,” says Cinema Stereo’s lead singer, bassist, and keyboardist, Ian Rayha. “We wanted to channel the sounds of Vampire Weekend and Two Door Cinema Club but make it rock. We always try to follow what excites us. From the moment Sebastian played the opening riff, we knew it had to be a Cinema Stereo song. Continues Ian, “The lyrics tell the story of two people who enter each other’s lives to save one another. We have always liked the idea that certain people are meant to cross our path—that the universe has a way of introducing new characters into our lives when we need them most, helping us to grow, heal, and move forward. In many ways, the marriage between the lyrics and the music feels just as destined as the relationship between the characters in the song.” |
