The Strokes have shared a new single.
Falling out of Love is the next slice of music from the band's seventh studio album, Reality Awaits, which is set for release on 26th June 2026 via Cult Records/RCA..
Despite the wistful and lovelorn track seeing frontman Julian Casablancas display some of his best vocals to-date, it also sees him dial up the autotune to 11 on the chorus, dividing opinion among many of their fans.
