Ben Lee will release his new album, I’m Fun!, in August this year. The record’s latest single, ‘Like This Or Like That’, is available for streaming now.
‘Like This Or Like That’ follows the album’s lead single, ‘Born for This Bullshit’, which came out in September 2021. Lee describes ‘Like This Or Like That’ as a song “about small choices.” The song begins: “I’ve always been more of a Stones than a Beatles guy / Cos there’s a point where the path divides / And your feet can only walk down one road at a time.”
In the second verse, Lee adds, “When I was young it was either Nirvana or Pearl Jam / Who was real, which was better / I thought I knew until one night I went drinking with Eddie Vedder.”
In statement, Lee said, “It may seem that digging the Stones more than the Beatles, or Nirvana more than Pearl Jam, doesn’t really matter. But these choices are about vibez, about values and about identity. Being a fan is like a choose-your-own-adventure story. And what you resonate with, what you are a fan of, ends up taking you down a completely unique path, if you let it. And of course, in the larger cosmic scheme of things, it’s all totally irrelevant…but that’s all part of the fun!”
I’m Fun! is coming out on Friday, 19th August. Lee is going on tour around Australia in June. Listen to ‘Like This Or Like That’ and find Lee’s upcoming tour dates below.
