Andrew Cushin has released his new single “Where’s My Family Gone” to high praise. The video to accompany the single release was released exclusively to the N.M.E. on Friday. The track features Oasis icon Noel Gallagher and was also produced by the Manchester legend.
Speaking to NME, Cushin explained that his manager recorded live footage from an early gig and sent it to Noel – who subsequently lent his services to the upcoming singer.
The pair met for the first time at a recording studio in London, where they laid down the emotional track.
Describing his experience with Gallagher, Cushin said: “When Noel arrived, I was bricking it. He shook my hand and we just had a chat straight away. We spoke about our families and all his great times from the 90s and it instantly put me at ease.
“It meant that by the time I went in to do the first vocal and couple of chords, I just knew I was there to work. I thought ‘let’s just try and impress him and get it as good as it should be’.”
But Cushin admits that the studio time proved surreal, as he recorded the track in the presence of bonafide rock royalty.
“There was moments when I did have to pinch myself and think that’s Noel standing over that mixing desk, planning how the next drums should sound. It was a surreal experience but I cherished every moment of it,” he said.
