18 year old breakout sensation Alfie Templeman has today shared his brand new single and video ‘3D Feelings’ on Chess Club Records/AWAL. The single launched at 6pm on 2 November as Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1; Templeman’s fifth consecutive Hottest Record. Alfie Templeman also today revealed the routing for his first ever European tour dates next March, with support from the Slovakian artist Karin Ann.
Ever since releasing his first single ‘Like An Animal’ in 2018, Alfie Templeman has, with every thrilling move, cemented his position as the teenage icon of his generation. Combining indie-boy-next-door aesthetics with a peerless musicianship - entirely self-taught, he plays no less than ten instruments and also contributes heavily to production on his still-TBA next project - Templeman pushes boundaries like no other teenager. His love of universe building, both aesthetically and musically, shone through on 2021 debut mini-album 'Forever Isn’t Long Enough' and burns ever more brightly with ‘3D Feelings’. Fresh, bold, youthful and inventive. Alfie Templeman sees an increasingly grey world in vibrant technicolour.
Produced with Will Bloomfield and Vaccines’ frontman Justin Young, ‘3D Feelings’ explores self-reflection, emotional attachment and the multitude of feelings in response to that. Speaking about the new single, which is also the trio’s first collaboration since the effervescent ‘Happiness In Liquid Form’, Templeman explains: "'3D Feelings' is about being reminded of your past self in different ways. Whether it’s objects or people, these are all things we feel a deja vu experience from. We get reminded of feelings we once felt through them, and those feelings just hit you and can’t be controlled. It can be a comforting experience, or a painful one, but either way it takes you back immediately to that feeling you once felt and that can be so powerful.”
He continues: “The song came together so quickly as a fun jam between Will & I, the opening guitar lick was made up on the spot after we found a really nice chord progression for me to solo over. Justin then inspired me to write some really cool lyrics for this one, they flow so effortlessly and they’re really fun to sing.”
