Emerging as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices, Perspective, comprising KG (lead vocals), Liam (bass), Ezra (drums), and Riccardo (guitar), have released their 11-track debut album, Look Both Ways, a project over two-and-a-half years in the making. With a sound that blends the irresistible grooves of funk, the uplifting sparkle of disco, the immediacy of pop, and a distinctive alternative energy, Perspective delivers music that feels both nostalgically familiar and refreshingly original.
The album traces a decade of personal experiences, written largely by KG, and unfolds almost like chapters in a book, exploring themes of love, trauma, hope, identity, and personal growth. At its heart, Perspective’s mission is clear: to inspire joy, unity, and freedom, bringing peace, love, and disco to dancefloors everywhere. What started as a desire to fuse classic ‘70s funk and disco with modern pop production and experimental textures evolved into a truly unique sonic identity. The resulting album represents a modern wave of funk-pop anthems, crafted entirely from the band’s own vision and creativity.
Already the band’s most successful single, “Take Them All Down” is a guitar-driven, drunken love song that captures the euphoric highs of a “us against the world” romance. Born from frustration, “Scream Therapy” is a punchy, instrumental track that serves as an emotional release for modern tension. “Hurt You Anymore” is a dancefloor-ready anthem of empowerment, transforming heartbreak into celebration. “Watching Sunsets” is an uplifting tribute to loved ones, with a bittersweet twist of emotional foresight. “Dirty Game”, a disco-fuelled storytelling at its finest, recounts KG’s first relationship’s shocking revelation with rhythmic sparkle and unapologetic honesty. “It Can Be” is a nostalgic throwback with lyrics penned by guitarist Riccardo. Daft Punk-inspired and metallic-tinged, “Late To The Party”, is a track that narrates KG’s coming out journey with experimental flair. “Stay Tonight” is funky, playful, and feel-good, capturing the excitement of new romance. “Love Is A Fool” is a cheeky, tongue-in-cheek parody of love songs. “Power” is one of the most personal tracks, reclaiming strength and identity after trauma, closing with the defiant line: “I’ve got the power in me.” The poignant album closer, “Skeletons” was written six years prior to the band’s formation, exploring dark themes with a moving guitar solo and a raw, emotional core.
Perspective’s music thrives on authenticity, connection, and emotional honesty, and their live performances radiate a joyous, human energy that invites audiences into a shared experience of hope and healing. Their debut album isn’t just a collection of songs, it’s a manifesto of growth, resilience, and the sheer power of music to uplift.
With this release, Perspective are not only announcing themselves on the UK music scene but setting a standard for funk-pop reinvention that’s both heartfelt and dancefloor-ready.
