Kicking off 2025 with a bang, high-energy rock’n’roll royalty, The Hellacopters, have released another smashing single from their upcoming new studio album, Overdriver, which is due out on January 31.
“Do You Feel Normal” is one of the most captivating and uplifting songs on the album despite its lyrical themes, which are dealing with alienation and solitude. The Hellacopters have written many hits in their career, and this one easily belongs in the top row. Its enticing lead melody and chorus could become your first addiction in 2025.
The sharp looking music video for “Do You Feel Normal” was shot at the beautiful historic amusement park Gröna Lund in Stockholm, Sweden, which first opened its gates in 1883. It was directed by Johan Bååth and you can watch the clip below. Stream the single here.
