Yellow Days has shared a new video for his latest single, ‘I Can’t Believe In Tomorrow’, the third track to be taken from his upcoming album Rock And A Hard Place, due for release on 13th February.
The song follows recent singles ‘Sharon’ and ‘Special Kind Of Woman’, all three pointing toward a shift in tone and approach. Where earlier Yellow Days material often leaned into hazy introspection, this new phase foregrounds classic soul and funk musicianship, sharpened by more direct emotional writing.
‘I Can’t Believe In Tomorrow’ places George van den Broek’s vocals front and centre. The performance is controlled and expressive, drawing on a lineage that runs through Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, influences he cites directly in relation to the track. Musically, the song moves through a tight funk and jazz-informed framework, but its focus remains on feeling rather than flourish.
Speaking about the single, van den Broek explains: “‘I Can’t Believe In Tomorrow’ is an example of a song where I try to write about immature feelings that I have, not trying to write wisely but just show the raw misguided feeling as it comes to you. This song is about being frustrated, feeling let down, and having unrealistically high standards. Essentially it’s a song about being annoyed.”
The accompanying performance video continues the visual language established with the previous two singles, keeping things direct and unembellished, in line with the album’s emphasis on clarity and honesty.
Rock And A Hard Place marks a significant moment for Yellow Days. Written during a period of personal change, including marriage and sobriety, the record has been described by van den Broek as the first album he feels reflects adulthood, while still reconnecting with the curiosity and instinct that shaped his teenage output. It follows a run of increasingly ambitious projects, from early bedroom pop beginnings through to the conceptual scope of HOTEL HEAVEN.
Yellow Days will support the album with an extensive tour across Mexico, North America, the UK and Europe, beginning later this month and running through to May.
