Corella announce debut album 'Once Upon A Weekend'

After recently returning with their much-loved comeback single 'Don't Stop Me' late last year, Corella have now returned to announce the plans behind their eagerly-awaited debut album, arriving in the coming months.

The new full-length 'Once Upon A Weekend' is being previewed by the new lead track 'Drifting', which comes accompanied by a brilliant Jay Brasier-Creagh-directed video, and is set to be released on the 3rd May via Believe.

Speaking about the new offering, they said, "Drifting is all about being younger and completely carefree. Exploring the jungle that is your neighbourhood, getting up to no good with your friends and making memories that last a lifetime. This transpires through later life as you try and find your path but never seem to find it, you just bounce from day to day doing as you please as you did when you were a kid."

While adding about the new visuals, "We wanted to capture the stories of our upbringing and childhood, but through an older man's perspective of reminiscing on his fonder, younger years. Portraying the metaphor of drifting through life, seeing where your path takes you, but then ending up here - a care home. It's the little things in life that trigger flash backs and all of sudden you're encapsulated in your 10 year old self again, roaming care free with zero responsibilities, out with your mates and living for the moment. We wanted the viewer to question - is it really reliving the past, or is it the reality of an old, tired mind losing sanity and longing for that free spirit it once had."
