Plain White T’s share new song "You Plus Me"
Plain White T’s have unveiled their latest single "You Plus Me."
This release comes on the heels of the band's recent announcement of their upcoming self-titled album which is scheduled for release on November 17th.
"You Plus Me" offers a glimpse into what's in store for the album through its acoustic simplicity, as showcased in the lyric video.
Frontman Tom Higgenson shared his perspective on this blissful new single, stating, "‘You Plus Me’ is a song about finding that person who is just as weird and nerdy as I am. It’s our flaws and our uniqueness that brings us together. There’s kind of an 'us against the world' mentality in this song, and I love that!"
Higgenson also explained the approach they took in recording the song, noting, "We purposely left the recording very raw and stripped down to let that spontaneity and misfit charm shine through."
When discussing the forthcoming album, Higgenson emphasized their intention to revisit familiar sounds with a fresh perspective, saying, "We were trying to hark back to sounds we've used in the past with a freshness. This one came from a really authentic place of understanding who we are and what we do. I'm more excited than I've been in a long time. As musicians, we're always trying to outdo ourselves or go somewhere we haven't gone before. Somehow, we figured out how to go to a fresh spot and still sound like Plain White T’s."
Fans can catch Plain White T’s in action at the second annual When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas later this month.
