Anjimile has returned with his first new LP since 2023’s The King. You’re Free to Go, which was produced by the great Brad Cook, will arrive on March 13 via 4AD. The first single from the new album, “Like You Really Mean It,” is a glowing, peppy pop-rock cut built around crunchy guitars and a tight drum groove that gives the song a dance-y energy. The shredding solo during the final chorus is worth the price of admission alone.
“I wrote this to make my girlfriend want to give me a kiss,” Anjimile said about the track. “We live about an hour apart, and I was just by myself thinking about her. Thinking about wanting a kiss. What could I do to get a kiss from my sweetheart? Write a song about it! Anyway, it worked.”
