Another sentimental hit
As we creep closer to their album release, one thing is for sure - Black Honey are in their sentimental era. Following ‘Up Against It’, new track ‘OK’ is a beautiful ode to platonic love while smashing the myth that happiness is ever a permanent, unfaltering state.

On each track revealed for A Fishful Of Peaches; Izzy Phillip’s lyricism shines brighter than ever. And ‘OK’ is no exception, exploding into a huge indie-rock banger with mega riffs and classic rises and falls; the same nostalgia that seems to colour the whole album is evident here too.
Talking about the track, Izzy said: “‘OK’ is a love story I wrote for my friend who was getting high all the time to dull anxiety. I didn’t want them to be struggling anymore and this song is like ‘I will stand by you and if you need a weird 10 mins where you smoke weed after drinking 8 pints till you whitey. If that’s what you need to do then it’s okay’. It’s too much to expect someone to be happy so just okay is enough. I’m also criticising myself for trying to be a Romeo-style hero when I’m so utterly ill-equipped to help anyone. I also somehow have the feeling of devotional dedication to a person that only rom coms ever show you and I didn’t really believe was real.”
Paired with another stunning music video - the band aren’t holding back when it comes to visuals for this album and we can’t wait to see what else is to come on the record.
