“Human Kindness” is the new single from London-based Brand New Zeros.

The track, written by lead-vocalist Ronan MacManus, will be released on May 15th via Fretsore Records.

“I wrote “Human Kindness” some time ago from personal experiences, but the current global situation has elevated how the song resonates with me, adding a new dimension of relevance. We had recorded this with the full band for our upcoming album and thought now would be the right time to send it out into the world. As my wife is a nurse, I think we have all seen how the human experience is at its best when we work together, thus inspiring the message of the song.”

The band recently premiered a live version of the track on Artists4NHS, a fundraising initiative founded by MacManus. For its launch Ronan recruited his brother, Grammy-winning artist Elvis Costello, to perform a live-stream performance. Global stars such as Joss Stone and Jake Burns of Stiff Little Fingers have also contributed.

“We’ve seen a lot of videos filmed in isolation and heard many songs that reflect the strange times we’re currently living in. But here is how it’s done, with a perfect balance between saying something meaningful and a little tongue-in-cheek humour.”
