The Struts are taking their love for glam rock up a notch by recruiting Def Leppard's Phil Collen and Joe Elliott for their latest single "I Hate How Much I Want You."
The song, described as "a tale of love lost and maddening lust," sees The Struts singer Luke Spiller trading off vocal duty with Elliott, while Collen shreds.
"Phil and Joe really gave the song so much personality to the point it sounds like a timeless glam rock stomper that your mum sang along to in the 70's," Spiller said in a statement.
“I loved the sound of The Struts since the moment I first heard them so it gives me great pleasure that Luke and the boys asked myself and Joe to participate in some mutual, mischievous, explosive rowdiness,” Collen said.
“When Luke called me up and asked if I fancied lending my voice to The Struts new album I said yes before I even knew what he wanted,” Joe Elliott added. “I’ve been a massive fan of the band since I first heard them so it’s not just a pleasure, it’s an honour to be part of this ‘born in Covid’ album, and what a song! Makes me feel like a kid again every time I hear it!”
"I Hate How Much I Want You" is the third offering off The Struts upcoming album Strange Days, following the title track and lead single "Another Hit Of Showmanship." Listen to it below.
