Liam Gallagher and John Squire join forces on collaborative song 'Just Another Rainbow'

Former Oasis vocalist Liam Gallagher and Stone Roses guitarist John Squire have announced a collaborative single called ‘Just Another Rainbow.’

Released on 7” vinyl on Friday 5th January 2024 via Parlophone Records, the track is the first musical morsel from Gallagher and Squire with “more new music to follow as the year unfolds.”

The pair started working together following John Squire’s guest performance of ‘Champagne Supernova’ at Liam Gallagher’s Knebworth shows in June 2022.

They demoed the songs at Squire’s recording studio in Macclesfield before heading over to Los Angeles to record them with Beck, R.E.M. and Roger Waters collaborator Joey Waronker or drums and Foo Fighters and Paul McCartney producer Greg Kurstin on bass.

Liam Gallagher says: “I think John’s a top songwriter. Everyone always bangs on about him as a guitarist, but he’s a top songwriter too, man, no two ways about it as far as I’m concerned.

“There’s not enough of his music out there, whether it’s with the Roses or himself. It’s good to see him back writing songs, and f---ing good ones.”

John Squire says of ‘Just Another Rainbow’: “To me the most obvious take is that it’s about disappointment. But I don’t like to explain songs, I think that’s the privilege of the listener. It’s also one of the most uplifting tracks we’ve made together.”

Squire said: “To me the most obvious take is that it’s about disappointment. But I don’t like to explain songs, I think that’s the privilege of the listener. It’s also one of the most uplifting tracks we’ve made together.”

Gallagher gushed: “John Squire without a doubt the best guitarist of his generation and in the world in my opinion.”
