Foster The People just released their new single “Take Me Back” on their YouTube channel at midnight. This is the second single after “Lost In Space” which dropped on May 31st. These songs are featured on Foster The People's fourth album “Paradise State Of Mind'' which comes out before summer's even over on August 16th. It's not summer until FTP drops a new album! Let's go get it, boi!
I find this all very exciting to experience the beginning of a new FTP era with a new lineup and new music from a new album. Mark, Isom, and Sean remind us that paradise isn't a place, but a state of mind! Since “Lost In Space” reached, or is close to reaching two million streams on Spotify, of course the boys want to follow that up with another single.
What I love the most about Foster The People is their ability to perfectly match any aesthetic to perfection. In 2017 it was an electronic and hip hop inspired sound, but now in 2024, it's Innovative disco influenced dance pop. Each album has a satisfying soundsphere that I love to listen to over and over again, and I never get sick of it. I'm pretty sure I'll be listening to “Take Me Back” on repeat until the album comes out: you can't go wrong with a blue sparkle vinyl!
What surprises do you think Foster The People have in store for the coming tours? I hope they hit my city as I've never seen the boys live and I also haven't been to a show since December 2017, if you can believe that!
