A press release for the single promises Squire’s “instantly unforgettable psychedelia-tinged guitar” met with “passion, personality and utmost conviction” from Gallagher’s vocal.

“To me the most obvious take on ‘Just Another Rainbow’ is that it’s about disappointment, and the sentiment is that you never get what you really want,” said Squire. “But I don’t like to explain songs, I think that’s the privilege of the listener, it’s whatever you want it to be. To me, it’s also one of the most uplifting tracks we’ve made together, which is weird.”
While ‘Just Another Rainbow’ is the first taster of the long-mooted joint album, a press release from the Manchester indie legends has confirmed that “there will be much more new music to come – and there could well be shows, too”. Speaking of their collaboration, Gallagher hailed Squire as “a top songwriter”.
“Everyone always bangs on about him as a guitarist, but he’s a top songwriter too, man, no two ways about it as far as I’m concerned,” he said. “There’s not enough of his music out there, whether it’s with the Roses or himself. It’s good to see him back writing songs and fucking good ones.

“The melodies are mega and then the guitars are a given. But I think even when you take all the fucking guitars off, you can play the songs all on acoustic and they’ll all still blow your mind.”

The first show that Gallagher ever attended was Stone Roses at the International 2 in Manchester when he was 16-years-old, with the pair meeting four years later Oasis and the Roses were both recording at Monmouth in Wales on what would become ‘Definitely Maybe’ and ‘The Second Coming’. Gallagher and Squire remained friends, later working together to write ‘Love Me and Leave Me’ the latter’s band The Seahorses, who also toured as guests to Oasis.

After the guitarist joined Gallagher onstage at Knebworth to play on ‘Champagne Supernova’, Squire then sent over three songs which Gallagher dubbed “all mega” before they began writing in earnest and working remotely while citing Jimi Hendrix, Sex Pistols, The Faces, Bob Marley and The Bee Gees as influences.

The project then grew as Gallagher attended Squire’s studio in Macclesfield, before completing sessions in Los Angeles for three weeks of sessions with producer Greg Kurstin [Adele, Foo Fighters, Sia]. Kurstin also played bass on the record, while drums were provided by Beck, R.E.M. and Atoms For Peace drummer Joey Waronker

This is very exciting!

Is it very weird that I'm not just excited for us, but also for Liam? Making an album with one of his heroes must be a dream come true!

Well the description of the writing process sounds good

It certainly sounds like they went to LA with all the demo’s sorted. So I still think it will be majority Squire written, some Liam and a little bit of Kurstin here and there.

Yep. I will have to dig again into John Squire solos records, i gotta say i rarely listened to them back then because there was a lot of music. but nowadays, not so much new music, so there's room.

hyped i gotta say, hope it will live up to the first reviews. And the Kurstin didn't make it too mainstream.

FAT, RAW, ORGANIC.

I'm beyond excited for this. What a treat.

I really liked Time Changes Everything. Can understand why people find his voice hard to take though.

Yes I really loved Squire’s first one, never heard the second. Bought on Amazon for £3 yesterday! 🤣

Wonderful way to enter into a new year!
