RÜFÜS DU SOL, dance music’s de facto architects of tender singalong moments, are back with a new single, “Music is Better.”
The track, which originally debuted during their Coachella 2024 performance, is their first new music since 2021’s scintillating Surrender album. Penning a love letter to music’s effect on infatuation, the Grammy-winning trio pick up where Stardust left off after releasing “Music Sounds Better With You” in 1998.
A dreamscape where love and music intertwine, the house track’s structure mimics the tension and release of a night out with a new flame. We’re swept off our feet by an uplifting melody, blissfully unaware of impending heartache: “On the edge of a dream / You play me a song / Before I knew what you done,” quavers lead singer Tyrone Lindqvist. But even in the face of potential disillusionment, the song celebrates the universal experience of music as a bonding force.
Out now via Rose Avenue/Warner Records, the new single “offers a window into a new creative groove for the band,” according to a press release. It’s a solid addition to RÜFÜS DU SOL’s catalog that will likely resonate with fans and newcomers alike, especially in live settings where its communal theme can truly come to life.
