Stereophonics will release their 13th studio album, ‘Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait’, this spring.

Due April 25, the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Oochya!’ is preceded by lead single, There’s Always Gonna Be Something, which is out now.

Speaking on the track, frontman Kelly Jones said: “There’s Always Gonna Be Something is a song that could be describing the restlessness in uncertainty, struggling to arrive at acceptance. A part within all of us.”

Clocking in at eight songs, a press release adds of the LP: “It is at once clean and precise. Hopeful and joyous. It does what it says on the cover. You Laugh, You Cry, You Wait.”

Kelly also opened up about the artwork for the album, which features its title against a pink background, sharing: “I went to New York, I visited some galleries, I saw ‘ART IS A GUARANTY OF SANITY’, a painting by Louise Bourgeois.

She believed art was a form of mental healing and a way to process difficult emotions. The spelling caught me first, then the simplicity of the words etched onto a pink tile.

So I tried scratching my title, inspired by my own art school teacher thirty years ago. And I loved it. I loved the simplicity of the pink. The pink album was born.”

In support of the record, the Maybe Tomorrow hitmakers are embarking on their ‘Stadium Anthems’ tour, including two hometown gigs at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 11 and 12, with additional shows across North America and Europe.

‘Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait’ is out April 25 and available to pre-order from Amazon, HMV, Rough Trade, Townsend and more.
