It’s been about two weeks since Johnny Flynn’s new single “Kentucky Pill” (from upcoming album Been Listening) debuted on Radio 1 and Zane Lowe named it “Hottest record in the World.” So I’ve spent about two weeks searching the corners of the internet trying to find said track and have myself a listen (thank you BBC iplayer for hating America!). My search has finally come to an end as J-Flynn is giving “Kentucky Pill” away as a free download. Snap!

The track is lively and vibrant, jam packed with horns and percussion that complement Flynn’s vocals perfectly. The single will be released on limited edition 7″ vinyl on May 31st. Have a listen below and click the arrow below ‘info’ to download!

If “Kentucky Pill” is anything to go on, Been Listening will not be a huge departure from A Larum but rather a significant growth in Flynn as a songwriter and musician. The album will be released June 1st on Transgressive Records in the UK. (North American released TBD)
