Muse frontman Matt Bellamy has shared his second-ever solo song after teasing it last week. The one-off single is titled “Tomorrow’s World” and finds the singer/guitarist trying to remain optimistic despite these incredibly trying times.
In a statement, Bellamy said that the song, “captures my mood and feelings whilst in lockdown,” adding, “I have been reminded of what really matters in life and have discovered growing optimism, appreciation and hope for the future.”
He continued, “The song title comes from an old BBC TV show called Tomorrow’s World, which I watched as a child in the 1980s and always enjoyed the wild futuristic predictions of what life would be like now. It all seems rather lovely, comforting and naive in retrospect and reminds me that none of us ever really know what the future holds.”
In other news, Bellamy told Apple Music that Muse intends to release a concert film this summer that was filmed at the O2 Arena in London last September. He revealed, “It's got elements of a live show but it's also got elements of all the kind of visuals of the last album, the sort of 80s aesthetic kind of fantasy stuff. So it's kind of like our version of (Pink Floyd's) The Wall or something.”
The movie is tentatively slated for a June or July release, most likely through digital outlets, with Bellamy calling it “the best kind of film we've made.”
