The Amazons team up with Royal Blood for 'My Blood'

With their eagerly-awaited new album landing later this year, The Amazons have now returned to share a very special collaboration.

The new single 'My Blood' sees them team up with UK rock titans Royal Blood for the new release, and follows on from the previously shared tracks 'Living A Lie' and 'Pitch Black' in previewing their new LP '21st Century Fiction', which is out on the 9th May.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Matt Thomson said, “Why do we carry on when the chips are down and all we hear is ‘stop’? 'My Blood' is an exploration into why, when you truly believe in something, you can push yourself past the point of pain. It’s not something you can intellectualise, it’s something you feel. With age comes more responsibilities, obstacles, reasons to quit. But in ‘My Blood’ I wanted to illustrate a force out of our control, deep inside of us, that forsakes that rational thinking.”

While adding about working with Royal Blood, "Mike was one of the first people I spoke to about collaborating on 21st Century Fiction. He’s become somewhat of a mentor over the years. He’s one of the few in the industry I can pick up the phone to and sink away the hours. I felt this album and ‘My Blood’ was the right time to dig deeper into the shared language I feel we have. And any opportunity to work with artists we respect and admire is one we want to take."
