The 1975

“Shiny Collarbone” is an song from The 1975’s fourth studio album "Notes On A Conditional Form". In their album review, NME described the song as ‘the thrilling and mind-bending’. At around 0:23, the song reuses a distinctive sample from the very beginning of It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You), from their last album, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships. In an interview with Virgin Radio Matty stated this song was originally called “Being Funny In A Foreign Language”. "Cutty Ranks did all those vocals for us. It started out as a sample, but then we spoke to him to clear it and he was like, “Oh, I’ll just do it again.” That’s Manchester, that tune, to me, man. That just sounds like going to town—that kind of dreamy, deep, dreamy, slow deep house music. Again, it’s like a fractured shard. There’s so many shards on this record. A lot of that is George. George always talks about how I’m quite expressive, how I have the ability, or even the desire, to express myself outside of music. And that can be in lyrics or in conversation. Whereas, because he’s not like that, he takes a really big responsibility on himself to express himself through sonics. That’s a really good way of explaining why a lot of our records are almost OCD in their detail. It’s because that’s George’s language." - via Apple Music
