Speaking on the new single, frontwoman Ellie Rowsell said: "I wanted a rock song; to focus on the performance element of a rock song, and sing like Axl Rose, but to be singing a song about being a woman.
'I've used the guitar as a shield in the past and playing it has perhaps been some way to reject the 'girl singer in band' trope. But I wanted to focus on my voice as a rock instrument, so it's been freeing to put the guitar down and reach a point where I don't feel like I need to prove that I'm a musician."

Chris Brown emerges in Amsterdam as he prepares to take to the stage for his first concert since being released on £5million bail over alleged nightclub bottle attack
has been seen in Amsterdam as he prepared to take to the stage for his first concert since he was released on a £5million bail after an alleged bottle attack in a London nightclub. The R&B singer, 36, kept a low profile as he was seen crossing a street on Friday wearing a black snap cap and Nike trainers. He cut a casual display for his arrival in the Netherlands as he wore a pair of green cargo trousers and a beige hoodie. Chris has travelled to Amsterdam in preparation to kick off his tour, titled Chris Brown, on Sunday. The tour kicks off in the Dutch capital city and will move to Germany on June 11 before ending his European stint in the UK on June, 15. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Shortly after Chris was released on remand from prison last month, he posted a story to Instagram to tell his 144million followers: 'From the cage to the stage!!!', adding the word Breezybowl - the name of his tour. Chris's passport was held by lawyers and police until he needed it in an arrangement that will allow him to fulfil tour dates in Europe, the US and Canada, a court heard. The singer was arrested in Manchester last month then charged over an alleged bottle attack at a nightclub in the capital in 2023. The Go Crazy singer had flown in on a private jet hours earlier and was staying at the five-star Lowry Hotel in Salford when police swooped to arrest him. Chris was charged with causing grievous bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw during the alleged assault at the Tape club in Mayfair in February 2023. The conditions of his bail mean that he must reside at an address in the UK and can only access his passport when he needed to travel for a tour date, Heidi Stonecliffe KC, prosecuting, said. Two-time Grammy winner Chris- who did not appear in court for the bail application hearing - is set to kick off his 20-year anniversary this week. He had planned gigs in Europe on June 8, 11 and 13 - with ten dates scheduled across Britain and Ireland from June 15, before further dates in the US. Stonecliffe told Southwark Crown Court his passport would be held by the police until his international dates, then it would be collected by a solicitor from law firm Hickman & Rose, before being returned to Chris so he can travel to the US. 'The passport is to then be lodged with a US lawyer named Mr Matthew Cayman. We have checked his details and he does exist,' Ms Stonecliffe said. 'It will be held by Mr Cayman until August. Then Mr Brown travels to Canada. It will be held by Mr Cayman during his US tour then Mr Brown returns to the UK and his passport will then be held by a solicitor. 'What we then propose is that we have a further case management hearing on October 24.' Other bail conditions include not to attend the Tape nightclub or contact his co-accused, Dallas rapper Omolulu Akinlolu, 38, the complainant or any witnesses. Before agreeing to the conditions, judge Tony Baumgartner said he needed some more information about Chris's net worth. 'The one concern I have is the defendant leaving the jurisdiction then returning to the jurisdiction,' he said. 'What I don't have is any feel for the defendant's net worth and how the security stands against that. 'It might be a lot of money to him or not a lot of money to him.' Sallie Bennett-Jenkins KC, said that during a break in proceedings she had been 'waking up a lot of people across the west coast of America' to establish Brown's net worth. Brown is claimed to have injured music producer Mr Diaw in an unprovoked attack when the singer and his entourage were at a club night called 'Dirty Martini'. The producer previously alleged Chris hit him over the head with a bottle two or three times and then punched and kicked him as he lay on the floor. Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls previously told Manchester Magistrates' Court the incident was an 'extremely serious' attack that was caught on CCTV. She said Mr Diaw was 'struck with a bottle several times' and 'punched and kicked repeatedly'. Before the latest hearing, Adele Kelly, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London North, said: 'We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Chris Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. 'The alleged incident occurred in London on February 19, 2023. He will have his first court appearance on Friday, May 16 at Manchester Magistrates' Court. 'The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial. 'It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.' Before the charge was made, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 2am on Thursday, May 15 on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. 'He has been taken into custody where he remains. The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on February 19, 2023. 'The investigation is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.' It was initially understood that the arrest had been made by the Metropolitan Police. But a Greater Manchester Police spokesperson clarified: 'This morning (Thursday) we arrested a 36-year-old man at a hotel in Manchester on suspicion of grievous bodily harm on behalf of the Metropolitan Police.' Chris rose to fame at a young age with his rich R&B voice and later rap, and was also known for having a relationship with fellow music star Rihanna. He released his debut album Chris Brown in 2005 and has since released a further ten studio albums and 64 singles. Some of his biggest hits have included Run It!, Yo (Excuse Me Miss) and No Air, a collaboration with Jordin Sparks. Chris will next appear in court on June 20, alongside American co-defendant, Akinlolu. A case management hearing has been set for October 24.

Huge blow for Sonia Kruger as long-running television series faces the axe
Channel Seven 's Dancing with the Stars could be facing the axe. The broadcaster is rumoured to be cancelling the beloved Aussie reality series just a week before the 22nd season hits screens, leaving hosts Dr. Chris Brown and Sonia Kruger 's jobs up in the air, according to Insiders claim that the Seven network is tired of forking out large sums of money for the show's production, which is said to cost around $1million per episode. The network's tight purse strings explain why recent seasons have seen shorter production periods, now taking place over five weeks as opposed to ten weeks back in the early 2000s. This isn't the first time Dancing with the Stars has been cancelled by Seven. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The broadcast was swiped off of Aussie screens in 2015 after viewership numbers made a swift decline. However, it was quickly picked up in 2019 by Channel Ten, who put it back down the following year. It came as a surprise when Channel Seven revisited the broadcast in 2021, with close sources revealing that a big factor in the show's return was Sonia's new role under the network's helm. The cancellation of Dancing with the Stars marks the third program hosted by Sonia, 59, that has been axed by Seven. In October last year, industry insiders claimed the popular Channel Seven star's future at the network could be up in the air. Despite the television favourite once being one of Seven's most in-demand stars, rumours circulated that may no longer be the case after changes at the network. One change included her former hosting gig on Big Brother jumping ship after the reality show moved to Network Ten in 2025 with a rebooted format and new host in Mel Trancia. Another big change for Sonia, who also hosts The Voice on Seven, was her husband Craig McPherson vacating his role as head of news and current affairs at Seven West Media in April. A Seven spokesperson rubbished the Daily Telegraph's claims that these developments had seen the star fall out of favour at the network. 'You are making things up. This is total fiction and completely wrong. To publish this rumour would be deliberately misleading,' the spokesperson said. Despite this, the publication claimed that a 'highly placed source' at Seven said that Sonia was 'vulnerable' citing her reported $1.3 million contract. 'Now Big Brother has gone, she will likely be doing less,' the unnamed source told the outlet. Representatives for the Gold Logie winner threw more water on the rumour fire, telling the publication Sonia was 'happy' at the network. 'Sonia is under a long-term contract with Seven, has not received a pay cut, and is very happy at the network.'

Inside Rihanna's rollercoaster relationship with her dad amid his shock death
After a long and complicated history, Rihanna 's father Ronald Fenty has reportedly passed away at age 70. The Umbrella songstress, 37, has long been open about how her father's crack and alcohol addictions cast a dark shadow over her childhood. She has said that her dad's substance abuse issues lead to explosive fights between her parents that sometimes turned physical - and that he once 'slapped her' so hard in the face when she was only seven-years-old that it left a 'handprint' on her cheek. His drug problems also meant Rihanna's mom had to work overtime to provide for her family, forcing Rihanna to step up and take care of her two younger brothers when she was little. Her yearning for a better life and longing for an escape from her 'abusive' dad were likely a driving force in her launching her music career at only 15 years old. But her relationship with her dad didn't get any easier after she found fame, in fact, things only got more messy as their problems often trickled into the media. Over the years, Rihanna and her father have gotten into multiple public feuds: he once got kicked off her tour after he 'embarrassed her' by 'disrespected' crew members; she was left furious when he spoke publicly about her controversial romance with Chris Brown; and he was kicked out of her charity event for boozing soon after he completed a rehab stint she had funded. Things got so bad in 2019 she actually sued Ronald for allegedly trying to cash in on her fame by using their family name to brand his entertainment business. But in recent years it had seemed as though they had finally reconciled as Ronald revealed in 2022 after Rihanna announced her pregnancy that they had been in touch and that he was 'over the moon' over the news. It's certainly been a rollercoaster ride for Rihanna and her father. Amid the news of his shock passing, FEMAIL has recapped their tumultuous relationship from start to finish. Rihanna's childhood was plagued by Ronald's drug addiction, as well as and his violent fights with her mom Rihanna, who grew up in Barbados, has long been open about how her father's addictions to crack and alcohol cast a dark shadow over her childhood. 'Even as a toddler, I learned that my mom and dad would argue when there was foil paper in the ashtray,' she once recalled to the Mirror. It was said that her dad's substance abuse issues lead to explosive fights between her parents that sometimes turned physical. 'I could tell when a conversation was getting too intense, when it was going to get physical,' she told Rolling Stone back in 2011. 'And Fridays would be scary because he would come home drunk. He'd get paid, and half of it would go toward alcohol. He'd walk in the door, and it was all eyes on him.' She also revealed that her dad hit her once when she was seven years old after she asked to stay at the beach 10 more minutes. 'He slapped me so hard. I ran home with his handprint on me,' she recalled. 'I couldn't believe it. 'My mother saw my face, how traumatized I was ... [it] was out of nowhere.' In addition, she told ABC, '[My parents] had a very abusive relationship. My dad was the abuser. [He hit her] on numerous account.' Her mom, Monica, worked tirelessly to try to provide for Rihanna and her two brothers, which sometimes meant the singer had to look after her younger siblings. 'It was going on in the home for a long time,' she previously said of her dad's drug use to Guardian. 'My dad got put out of the house a few times because she was not having that around us. My mom had to be a woman and a man, working her a** off for us.' Her parents ultimately divorced when she was 14 years old, and one year later, she kicked off her music career. She had formed a girl group with two of her classmates and together, they auditioned for record producer Evan Rogers. He was instantly blown away by her talent and invited her to come to the US and record some demos to send to labels. She was signed to Def Jam Recordings soon after, and the rest if history. The father-daughter duo became embroiled in a public feud after she kicked him off her tour in 2009 and he spoke to media about her relationship with Chris Brown Rihanna's complicated relationship with her father was brought into the spotlight in 2009, four years after she released her first single, when she admitted that they hadn't spoke in over a year. 'I've been the one trying to reconcile with him forever,' she said during an appearance on Ryan Seacrest's Kiis FM radio show. 'I haven't heard from my father in over a year. I try though, I reached out to him. I did my part. Now it's on him.' At the time, she said they had a falling out after he 'embarrassed' her on her tour. 'He did something that was a little embarrassing,' she dished. 'He disrespected some people on the bus and I didn't like that, so I kind of just let him go back home. 'I didn't think it was going to be a thing where we weren't talking to each other. I just thought: "You just need some time away right now." 'Every time I tried to call him after that, that was it. I contacted him on numerous occasions - father's day, his birthday - and just nothing.' The pop star also said at the time that she was 'upset' that her dad had given interviews following her assault at the hands of then-boyfriend Chris Brown. 'He kind of did something that was really upsetting. He turned his back on me and went to the media,' she continued. 'He got paid to talk about stuff - all these little interviews he was doing after the whole situation in February. 'I hadn't spoken to him and he was speaking as though we did. It was so disappointing to me.' In 2012, however, Rihanna told Oprah that she had 'repaired' their relationship. 'He taught me everything, and as awful as he was to my mom, at times, it didn't compare to how great he was as a father,' she said on her show. 'And I had to come to terms with that, and I was able to close that gap with him.' Rihanna paid to put Ronald through an expensive Malibu rehab program in 2014, but soon after, he was kicked out of a charity even for boozing In 2014, Rihanna's dad spoke exclusively with about his complicated relationship with the singer. He revealed that Rihanna had put him through an expensive Malibu rehab program after he had gotten into a drunken argument with a bar server over his change and police were called. Caring Rihanna even sent her dad extra clothes and toiletries for his stay and visited him when she got back from touring in Europe. But he confessed at the time that he had fallen off the wagon and had to be escorted out of a charity event she was hosting for boozing. 'I had Johnny Walker Black. I had two doubles and tripped over a chair ... Security came up and said "we're taking you home,"' he said. 'I said, "But I haven't seen my daughter yet" … and they said, "Don't matter man."' He added: 'I'm sad how it ended of course, I should have never taken that first drink or any drink for that matter. I wish I had seen her of course. 'She will probably hear how I was and how I had a few drinks, so I guess she would be angry with me. I think she is, I'm not sure, we haven't spoken just yet. 'I feel bad because I let her down because she spend all that money putting me in rehab, [and] then find me drunk somewhere. It is not good. What can I say but I'm sorry. It's me who f**ed up.' Asked what possessed him to drink at the event, Ronald claimed he was depressed that his two older children from a previous relationship – Rihanna's half brother and sister Jamie and Samantha - weren't invited. Ronald said he feels terrible for breaking his promise to stop drinking to his daughter. But when asked if he was an alcoholic, he insisted: 'Me, n,. drunk and disorderly. I don't see myself as an alcoholic, I don't realize when I get that drunk. 'Call me a drunk or alcoholic in denial, whatever you want to call me but I have realized I could drink or not drink. 'I only start[ed] drinking, once I come back here in December.' Rihanna sued her dad in 2019 for allegedly trying to cash in on her fame by using their family name to brand his entertainment business Things became more tense between them in January 2019 after it was revealed that Rihanna had sued her dad for allegedly trying to cash in on her fame by using their family name to brand his entertainment business, Fenty Entertainment. In legal papers first obtained by The Blast, the singer, alleged Ronald, along with a business partner, Moses Perkins, he has been soliciting business by falsely acting as her agent. Despite having no authority to act on his daughter's behalf, Ronald was said to have booked her on a $15 million tour in Latin America and two concerts, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for $400,000. Rihanna asked for damages from her father, and an injunction on his business, set up in 2017. A year later, however, it was reported that Rihanna had helped her father after he contracted coronavirus, sending him a ventilator and checking in on him on a daily basis. She withdrew her lawsuit in September 2021, and it's believed that the two came to a settlement. They seemed to have reconciled before his sock death at age 70, as he revealed the singer sent him photos of her baby bump before debuting it to the world TMZ reported on Saturday that Ronald died in Los Angeles following an illness. Starcomm Network, a radio station in Rihanna's native Barbados, has also reported Ronald's death. As for where their relationship stood before his shocking passing, it seemed they had reconciled in recent years. In 2022, he told Page Six that he was 'over the moon' after Rihanna revealed that she was expecting her first child with A$AP Rocky. 'I'm so happy that I jumped for joy. I'm still so excited,' he gushed. 'Rihanna always said that she wanted children, she loves kids. 'She always takes care of her cousins' kids… she's going to be a good mom.' Ronald, who spoke via phone from his home in Barbados, said he found A$AP Rocky to be 'a very cool guy' after the two got a chance to meet when his daughter brought the rapper home in December 2020. 'I like him,' he added, before revealing that he got the news of Rihanna's pregnancy a day before she went public with her burgeoning tummy. 'I just got the news from her last night, and she sent me some photos,' he said. 'I'm just over the moon. She's beautiful inside and out.'
