FINDING your own Paradise and shrugging off the trials and tribulations of everyday life was the inspiration behind Kings Klub's new tune taking off.

The Dunfermline-based 'intergalactic pop duo' have once again called on the services of Lewis Moncur to lead the way on vocals in their new release.

It is another sample of what Grant Allan and Michael Waterworth are capable of producing and builds on the five tracks released already since the inception of the pairing nearly two years ago.

After Michael departed Dancing on Tables and Grant waved goodbye to Oskar Braves, the pair made the decision to work together.

Brakes On was the first product of the partnership in December 2019 and it has been followed up by Love Me Now, Missing, Astronaut and Phase Me.

Paradise is the sixth single to date and with plans for an EP in place, loaded with new material, their journey continues to gather momentum.

"Lockdown last year was a blessing in disguise for us," Waterworth told Press:ON.

"We had all that time to write and there couldn't have been a better time to do that.

"We've been able to release a lot already and Paradise is different to our last release.

"It feels as though I'm always saying that to you but it's the truth – and that's great for us.

"Paradise is going back to our roots in a way as it is more guitar and drum-heavy, whilst still being a pop song with synths and keyboard.

"It came about at around the same time as we were putting down the vocals for Phase Me. Lewis asked if he could have a go on the piano to play something he had been thinking about in his head. He had some parts of it and it was sounding great.

"It was just us in the studio at that point so we worked on a bit before sending a rough recording to Grant.

"It can't have been more than six hours later he came back to us with drums and guitar that he had added himself.

"From there, we decided that it had to be a new tune with Lewis at the front of it.

"It's great to be working with him again as he's a great singer and song-writer. He has that strong vocal we like and if we can't find another voice we like down the line we'll be saying to ourselves, 'Right, let's get Lewis – we know he'll smash it'."

Working with musicians like Lewis, from hometown Dunfermline, was always the aim for Kings Klub and continuing to work with artists from around the world – such as New York talent Olive Louise on their debut Brakes On – is equally as important to them as spending time with those closer to home, like Freya Stobie, who featured on Astronaut, back in January.

Paradise is out now and the lyrics translate to "finding your happy place".

"It sounds cheesy, but that's what it's about!" Waterworth laughed.

"Mentally and physically, we're all drained right now. It's been a tough time for everyone.

"'Normal life' is coming back slowly though and with the potential for holidays abroad again and meeting up with friends in numbers and having a pint and laugh with them, that's where Paradise is: being back with pals in the sunshine and away from life for a bit."
