We Will Be Friends

The 7:45s

A 5 track retro soul single (16m 15s) — released July 25th 2025 on LRK Records

#soul #retro-soul

Friendship never ends. On the dancefloor, you'll wish this 3-minute bop could last forever. 'We Will Be Friends' features fat horns, wobbly synth, and chiming guitars. Bassist and songwriter Sam Flynn makes his vocal debut, showcasing his Prince-like falsetto. The track flips the 'friends till the end' cliché: the chorus celebrates platonic love while the verses hint at the fear of losing a friend. Feel-good disco that's retro but fresh. BBC 6 Music has played 7 songs by The 7:45s this year.
