Author: Primedia Broadcasting August 24, 2026 Duration: 11:45

Easy Freak's Dom and Jude joined Carl Wastie on the Kfm Top 40 to unpack their brand-new single, 'Only Like You Do' and the evolution of their sound ahead of their upcoming album, "The Touch". They reveal how the new project takes them back to their jazz roots with live drums, guitars, strings and horns, while sharing the surprisingly long journey of their latest track, which was first written around 10 years ago. Plus, they revisit some seriously cringe early lyrics, reveal the story behind the name “Easy Freak,” and explain how a song born of heartbreak became the ultimate soundtrack for “dancing while you cry.”
