Johnny Marr has debuted ‘Easy Money’ off his forthcoming LP ‘Playland’ today (August 15).
‘Easy Money’ is the first track to be shared off his second solo album ‘Playland’ which is set to drop on October 6th.
In an interview with Rolling Stone the former Smiths guitarist spoke about ‘Easy Money’, he said: “I like the idea of sneaking a serious concern into the mainstream, disguised as a big pop tune.
“The riff was so catchy and infectious that I wanted it to be about something that appeared to be trite but was actually quite universal. Money is a preoccupation of everybody, and it took me quite a long time to write something that appeared to be simple. If you were to ask anybody in the City what they’re after, essentially the root of it is money. It’s the age-old thing of people thinking that it will make us happy.”
