English Teacher Release New Song ‘R&B’

Leeds band English Teacher have released a new single, ‘R&B’. It’s the latest offering from their upcoming debut album This Could Be Texas, which arrives on April 12 via Island. Check it out below.

“There’s a lot of judgment that I had early on,” the group’s Lily Fontaine said in a statement. “Being a woman of color fronting a band shouldn’t even be a thing to talk about; we need to just get on with it – only then will the narrative around that change.”

She added: “When I was with him I had writer’s block and to add insult to irony, the only idea I had was for an R&B top line – the genre people always assumed I worked in. As soon as he ended it, I converted that top line into the lyrics and riff for ‘R&B,’ and took it to my three best mates. Putting the effort that you could potentially put into a partner, back into yourself and your career, is cool and sexy and gets you signed to Island Records and writing press quotes in a tour van in Holland and you get to meet Jools Holland. Thanks lad.”
