This week, The Feeling release their sixth studio album to date; and first in as many years. The follow-up to their eponymous 2016 LP, Loss. Hope. Love. sees members Dan Gillespie Sells, Richard Jones, Kevin Jeremiah, Ciaran Jeremiah and Paul Stewart cover exactly that; charting human emotions in their most vulnerable forms.
As the band return following the success of Dan's coming-of-age musical Everybody's Talking About Jamie, we caught up with The Feeling frontman to discuss how the band's break has shaped their sound.
It's weird, it really doesn't feel that long. I've been busy with the Everybody's Talking About Jamie musical and film. Coming back, it looks like we've had a rest - but we honestly haven't! We've been at it, solidly, since 2016. Everybody's Talking About Jamie isn't just my project; the lads have all been in the studio working with me on the soundtrack.

During lockdown, I was full of ideas. We all went through something that made us stop and think; it gave us perspective. The whole world took a shift and everybody was feeling reflective.
The lyric from the first single There is No Music explains exactly that; 'there is no music unless there's pain in your heart.' Every silver lining needs a cloud, I like to say. Be grateful for the cloud.
That's so difficult. There's a song that's really simple on there called Love People. It's a simple song about how fallible people are, but how you have to love them anyway. People are
