Nashville rockers Cinema Stereo return with their brand-new single, Now We Feel Special,” released on Wednesday June 10th. Available now across all major streaming platforms HERE, the infectious song arrives alongside an official music video, available to watch on YouTube HERE.

The single offers a tantalizing preview of Cinema Stereo’s new studio album, arriving in October. It also sets the stage for the band’s first-ever UK Headline Tour, which will see them take to the road across the UK throughout November and December. Tickets are on sale via The Gig Cartel and Cinema Stereo.

“Now We Feel Special is heavily inspired by our indie rock influences,” says Cinema Stereo’s lead singer, bassist, and keyboardist, Ian Rayha. “We wanted to channel the sounds of Vampire Weekend and Two Door Cinema Club but make it rock. We always try to follow what excites us. From the moment Sebastian played the opening riff, we knew it had to be a Cinema Stereo song.

Continues Ian, “The lyrics tell the story of two people who enter each other’s lives to save one another. We have always liked the idea that certain people are meant to cross our path—that the universe has a way of introducing new characters into our lives when we need them most, helping us to grow, heal, and move forward. In many ways, the marriage between the lyrics and the music feels just as destined as the relationship between the characters in the song.”

Coinciding with the release of the new single, Cinema Stereo have announced their first-ever European & UK Tour, beginning on 15 October 2026. Tickets are available now through Cinema Stereo. The landmark run represents a significant step in the band’s journey, taking their acclaimed high-energy live show to international audiences for the first time.

Originally hailing from Orlando, Florida, and now based in Nashville, Cinema Stereo are comprised of Ian Rayha (lead vocals, bass guitar, keyboards), Seb Borysek (guitars, backing vocals), and Jeff Lageveen (drums, backing vocals).

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including Queen, The Police, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, and The Killers, Cinema Stereo have forged a sound that is both timeless and distinctly their own. Renowned for their fearless creative approach, emotional honesty, and compelling songwriting, the band continue to establish themselves as one of the most exciting emerging voices in contemporary rock.

Cinema Stereo’s previous single So Sorry, My Dear is available on all streaming platforms HERE and as a limited edition 7-inch vinyl available HERE. Watch the music video HERE.

The band’s previous single “Lean On You” is available on all streaming platforms HERE. Watch the music video on YouTube HERE.
