5 Seconds of Summer lead vocalist Luke Hemmings has introduced a new solo EP. boy is due out on April 26 through Arista Records and follows his 2021 debut solo EP, When Facing The Things You Turn Away From. He produced it with common collaborator Sammy Witte and took inspiration from artists like LCD Soundsystem, My Bloody Valentine, and Cocteau Twins. “I wrote these songs in a moment in my life when I found myself questioning everything I thought I knew about the world & myself,” he writes on social media. “All the emotions, fears, and grief that came with it.”

The first single is “Shakes,” which Hemmings says “was written on a dreary NYC evening in between long periods of being on the road. This made it come naturally to write from a melancholy place and feeling of yearning to be back home and feeling lonely and emotionally depleted. There is a longing for love and self-acceptance in the lyrics and I hope it to be a song and feeling that anyone listening can find themselves in and attach their own story.”
