Enter Shikari Share New Single “It Hurts” From Upcoming Album ‘A Kiss For The Whole World’

UK electronicore act Enter Shikari are back with “It Hurts”, the second single from the band’s forthcoming album A Kiss For The Whole World, out April 21st via SO Recordings/Ambush Reality.

Following January’s “(pls) set me on fire” release, the new track continues their socially conscious lyricism and explosive musicality. Lead vocalist and producer Rou Reynolds explains:

“It Hurts came to me in a dream. Literally. Melody, chords, and fully-formulated chorus were all part of a dream that, thankfully, remained with me when I woke up. I was hiding under the duvet at 3AM, singing it into my phone, much to the bewilderment of my girlfriend.

Lyrically, It Hurts is about perseverance, and the importance of reframing failure as a fruitful and, in fact, pivotal route to progress. Society teaches us we should avoid and criticise failure, when defeat and honest mistakes can actually present us with insights that light our way forward.

In reality, we should be taught that simply to try makes us more than enough.”
