Simple Plan confirm ‘Perfectly Perfect’ as 3rd TOFTT single in a new interview

AUTHOR: Dominika | 17. September 2016 | no comments

At first, SimplePlan.cz brought you the news that ‘Perfectly Perfect’ may be Simple Plan’s new single, when the Thai radio station Eazy FM 105.5 started putting the song in their rotation two weeks ago. Just moments after that, that news became all the more believable when Warner Music Philippines released a lyric video for the song, making the fans very anxious that it may truly be the band’s new single.

However it wasn’t until now, that the members of Simple Plan finally opened up about ‘Perfectly Perfect’ being their 3rd single from Taking One For The Team (after ‘I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed’ and ‘Singing In The Rain’). When in Thailand, Chuck, Seb and Jeff did an interview with the radio MET 107, in which one of the questions was regarding their new single, that this radio station has also already picked up.

Check out the transcript of this part of the interview below:

Interviewer: “We play your single a lot. And right now, your latest single, ‘Perfectly Perfect’ is now on air as well. Can you say something about your latest single?”

Chuck: “Yeah, you know what? It just came out. And I think it’s actually the first place in the world – in Asia – where it’s an “official” single. It’s a song about.. you know, like when lots of times when you’re dating someone, you’ll hear them being super insecure about their bodies or who they are and everything. And it’s kind of a song that says sometimes what you think is imperfect on you or what you’re insecure about is actually this thing about the person that’s actually a super cool thing. So I think that’s kind of what the song’s about. It’s trying to tell people out there that it’s cool to embrace who you are and be proud of who you are. Because lots of times, the people that are really close to you, that’s what they love the most about you. It’s a cute kind of romantic song.

Jeff: “I thought the song was about me..? I’m really disappointed right now.”

Check out the full new interview with Chuck, Jeff and Sebastien, where at mark 6:41, the members of Simple Plan discuss ‘Perfectly Perfect’:

As of right now, it is unknown when the band is planning to shoot and release a music video for this song. But if you were the one in charge of the concept, what would the video be about?

A popular Youtuber Caspar Lee, originally from South Africa, now residing in London, is known for filming various kinds of prank videos, in which he usually involves his friends or family members for his 6.5 million subscribers to see. Yesterday, Caspar uploaded a brand new video, in which he pulled a song lyric prank on his Mom. And it wasn’t just any song lyrics he chose for this video – it was exclusively and only our very own Simple Plan’s first single – I’m Just a Kid. And as of writing this article, the video has already over 800 000 views.

How did Caspar’s Mom react to her 22-year-old son texting her these teen-angst-filled lyrics? Check it out in Caspar’s new video below:

Song-title of unreleased Simple Plan song co-written by Alex Gaskarth revealed

AUTHOR: Dominika | 7. September 2016 | no comments


In just a couple of days it will be exactly two years since Pierre and Chuck got together with Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low) and Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) to write some new Simple Plan music. Unfortunately none of the songs the guys came up with made it onto the final cut of the ‘Taking One For The Team’ record, but the songs do exist somewhere in some form.. on Chuck’s laptop possibly.

And while what exactly turned out of the collaboration with Mark Hoppus is still unknown, the song-title from the collaborative song-writing effort with Alex Gaskarth has slipped into the internetverse recently – the song was called “Constellation”.

Now, whether this was a sequel to ‘Astronaut’, we will probably never know. Or maybe, perhaps, if the guys ever decide to release some of the left-over songs from the making of ‘Taking One For The Team’, as they did with “Get Your Heart On: The Second Coming” in 2013, then we might get a listen of that song eventually. But, there are no definite plans for an EP as of right now, although the band is thinking of that possibility, according to various recent interviews.

Simple Plan will be once again reunited with their old friends from All Time Low very soon – in November they are heading out on their Canadian tour, where All Time Low will be opening for them once again, along with PVRIS.

What do you think a song called ‘Constellation’ could be about? Would you like to hear it eventually?

Tantri Kotak joined Simple Plan for Jet Lag again in Bali

AUTHOR: Dominika | 4. September 2016 | no comments

For the first time in their career, Simple Plan headed to the beautiful island Bali, in Indonesia, where they were scheduled to perform at the Soundrenaline festival. Despite a short delay in the performances that night, Simple Plan jumped on the stage with all their saved energy from the day off in Bali they had the day before and delivered a high energy performance.

One big surprise of the night was when Tantri Kotak, a local Indonesian singer, joined Simple Plan on the stage for “Jet Lag”. This is not the first time that Tantri has appeared on “Jet Lag” alongside Simple Plan. Back in 2012, her band Kotak was featured on an alternative music video for “Jet Lag” and she also sang with the band when they performed in Indonesia that year.

Check out this year’s “Jet Lag” performance with Tantri Kotak on the video below:

Even though it was a festival, Simple Plan got an enough long time slot to perform their full setlist, which was the same as in the previous days:

1. Opinion Overload
2. Jet Lag
3. Jump (‚I Gotta Feeling‘ snippet)
4. I’d Do Anything
5. Boom
6. Welcome to My Life
7. Kiss Me Like Nobody’s Watching
8. Your Love Is A Lie
9. Singing In The Rain
10. Party medley – Uptown Funk (Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars cover) & Can’t Feel My Face (The Weeknd cover)
11. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
12. Farewell
13. Summer Paradise
14. Crazy
15. I’m Just a Kid

Encore:
16. Shut Up!
17 Perfect World
18. This Song Saved My Life (acoustic)
19. Perfect
