| ‘Simple Life’ follows the release of lead single and album opener ‘Rewire’, a blistering rock track which tore out the blocks in March and tapped into the political discontent affecting both sides of the Atlantic. Produced by Grammy-winning Jason Perry (The Molotovs, McFly, Don Broco), A Beautiful World To Lose finds Corella performing with a new ferocity and sense of purpose. They have taken their formative indie influences and honed them into something new and razor-sharp. Their latest circuitry buzzes with a new energy and darker sound, like lightning in a bottle, this Northern powerhouse is ready to explode. Regarding the album Joel says, “It definitely sounds fiercer than the last one and a lot has happened since we released our first album. We’re writing more for ourselves this time, but we also hope there’s plenty that listeners will be able to relate to. These lyrics have more grit to them, more heart, and we knew we had to be willing to make ourselves more vulnerable.” Bassist Ben Henderson notes the darker undertone to this record, in its themes of loss, heartbreak and disillusionment, “A lot of the songs are that touch heavier, more aggressive, while others lean into that vulnerability we were reaching for. It’s been a huge learning curve, but I definitely feel like we got there.” Take ‘What’s The Use’, a cathartic track for a generation’s frustration and apathy over the things that are out of their control, while ‘Wolf’ showcases a confident swagger but, behind closed doors, is full of insecurities. ‘Thunder Strike’, written with Kieran Shudall of Circa Waves, is a menacing track highlighting the maelstrom of anxiety, adrenaline, fear and excitement that plagues bands as they chase success. A mindset which permeates further on a wider scale on the searing ‘Bitter End’ representing, “that restless drive to chase something bigger, exploring the highs, chaos, and obsession that come with wanting more out of life”, as Joel says. The band are at their most vulnerable on the likes of ‘Lost A Friend’ and ‘All I Want’, with the tracks dissecting grief and loss, the difficulty of letting go, the memories that stay with you, and learning to carry someone’s absence without losing yourself along the way. “It’s easy to feel like the odds are stacked against you, like the fight is never over,” Joel says. “But we really believe that hard work pays off, provided you’ve got each other’s backs. We definitely tapped into that on A Beautiful World To Lose, the fight is there. You’ve got to keep going.” Corella started their fight all guns blazing in 2024 with the release of their debut album Once Upon A Weekend, an album which smashed the Top 5 of the Independent Breakers Chart, and Top 20 of Album Sales, Physical and Vinyl charts. With a wealth of support for the band coming across Radio 1, Radio X and BBC Introducing, while also clocking up over 70 million streams since the release of the debut album. Corella have ignited a following which has led to numerous capacity headline tours across the UK and Europe, main stage performances at festivals including Reading & Leeds, while also touring with the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Pale Waves, Circa Waves and The Wombats. Corella are now thrumming with their early firecracker energy yet channelling this into something far more potent as they land their knockout blow with A Beautiful World To Lose in 2026.
