Stereophonics have announced their new album ‘Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait’ and shared its first single ‘There’s Always Gonna Be Something’. Check it out below.
Due for release on April 25 via EMI, the record, which is the band’s 13th studio LP and follow-up to 2022’s ‘Oochya!’, is available to pre-order here.
As a first taster the band have shared their soothing new single, which frontman Kelly Jones says is a song that could be describing “the restlessness in uncertainty, struggling to arrive at acceptance. A part within all of us.” You can listen to it below.
“I leave nothing for death but bones and the solitude Jester jokes / Igniting my energy and bringing me to my knees, in this 21st century, so help this sinner please / This is only one part of me – there’s always gonna be something, so what’s it gonna be today,” he sings.
Jones also shared the artwork, which he said was inspired by a painting by late French-American artist Louise Bourgeois.
“I went to New York, I visited some galleries, I saw ‘ART IS A GUARANTY OF SANITY’, a painting by Louise Bourgeois,” he said.
“She believed art was a form of mental healing and a way to process difficult emotions. The spelling caught me first, then the simplicity of the words etched onto a pink tile. So I tried scratching my title, inspired by my own art school teacher thirty years ago. And I loved it. I loved the simplicity of the pink. The pink album was born.”
It comes after Jones recently teased a new album and single earlier this month.
The band previously announced a huge headline show at the Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk to take place on August 16. They will be joined by Blossoms and Jake Bugg, with any remaining tickets available here.
They will also be embarking on the ‘Stadium Anthems’ tour of the UK and Ireland in June and July, culminating in a massive hometown gig at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. See the full list of dates here and find tickets here.

Miley Cyrus has joined a new record label following her departure from Sony Music’s Columbia Records.
The 33 year old singer and songwriter has agreed to a fresh deal with Atlantic Records, the company officially announced.
The label shared the news on its official Instagram account, writing: "Welcome to the family @mileycyrus [white heart emoji]"
Miley joins an impressive Atlantic Records roster that includes Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX, Bruno Mars, Cardi B, Rosé, PinkPantheress, and Lizzo.
The Hannah Montana star launched her recording career at Disney’s Hollywood Records, where she released three albums, before putting out another four records through RCA.
She later signed with Columbia Records in 2021.
Celebrating the agreement at the time, Miley uploaded a photo of herself holding the contract and wrote on her Instagram Story: "WHEN IM NOT RUNNING GAME. IM RUNNING MY MF BUSINESS. LET’S RIDE. (sic)"
During her time with the company, Miley released two albums, Endless Summer Vacation and Something Beautiful.
Only a few days before Something Beautiful arrived on May 30th, 2025, Miley revealed that her next project would take a much more "extremely experimental" direction.
According to Rolling Stone magazine, she offered fans a preview of her future plans during an event at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood.
Speaking to the intimate audience, she said: "My next album is about to be extremely experimental, so have fun with that.
"Something Beautiful is just the appetizer."
Following the release of the title track Something Beautiful, Miley suggested the project represented "another bold artistic evolution" in her musical journey.
A message posted to her Instagram account stated: "Miley’s second song and video release ‘Something Beautiful’, the title track off of the forthcoming album explores her deep connection to fashion showcasing an original custom design by Casey Cadwallader for the House of Mugler in the visual.
"This era marks another bold artistic evolution for Miley, blending music and film into an immersive experience."
Miley had earlier revealed that Pink Floyd’s The Wall helped shape the inspiration behind the album.
Speaking with Harper's Bazaar, she explained: "My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.
"It’s a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.
"I would like to be a human psychedelic for people. I don’t want anyone trying to be like me or imitate me or even be inspired by me. I want to impact frequencies in your body that make you vibrate at a different level."
