Kasabian recently shared SUPERPOWERS— the next track to be taken from their forthcoming album ACT III.
The third taste from the band's ninth studio album - which is now released on 4th September - is described as a "track with a distinct G-Funk flavour" and a "a laidback, synth-driven number with smooth tones and an infectious pop filled chorus".
Frontman Serge Pizzorno said of the inspiration for the song: "I remember hearing ‘Doggy Style’ by Snoop in my mate’s XR2, one of those tracks that makes you go ‘what?' because you’ve never heard anything quite like it," adding: "When we recorded SUPERPOWERS it was the first time I really felt like the sound that I could hear in my head was what came out of the speakers."
Watch the official video for the single below which sees the frontman dressed fittingly as a superhero:

Serge also took the track’s lyrics and shot a series of audition tapes with acclaimed actor Stephen Graham for the release.
He explains: "Audition tapes have always fascinated me. There’s something incredible about seeing a performance in its rawest form. I wanted to bring that feeling to life by turning the song’s lyrics into a script and presenting it as an audition tape. Getting to work with Stephen Graham, one of Britain’s greatest actors, was a true honour. Watching him take the songs into a completely new space brought a whole new depth and meaning to the lyrics."
Alongside the single and the audition tapes feature came a new album trailer for the record, which also features Stephen Graham.
