Andrew Cushin Shares New Tune ‘A Song For You’ Ahead Of Tour

by | Mar 21, 2025

It’s so rare that a rising artist is championed by big names from different eras, but after just one album Andrew Cushin has had Noel Gallagher, Pete Doherty, Sam Fender and Louis Tomlinson in his corner. It’s because Cushin offers something atypical: timeless songwriting with the potential to match those talents while speaking directly of the day-to-day experiences of his generation. That strength is set to be amplified with the release of his second record Love Is For Everyone on 2nd May via LAB Records. He has previewed the album with the new single A Song For You and its official video.

A Song For You is a beautifully unadorned love song with a message so universal that it could’ve been written in any generation. But this is no genteel ballad. Instead, it’s folk-pop played with a rock ‘n’ roller’s heart, with driving acoustic guitars bringing the energy as melancholic violins bring equal measures of melancholy and hope. What’s most undeniable is the power of Cushin’s voice, full of feeling as he sings: “I wrote this song for the strugglers, because god knows I’m struggling too.”
Andrew says, “This is a song I’ve been sitting on for a very long time. I remember playing it at my first ever headline show in The Cluny in Newcastle. I was 19 I think and the song was called A Song For The Strugglers back then. It’s one I’ve always believed in. A Song For You is a very self-explanatory song, it’s for both those in love and those who are struggling! Like I’ve said in reference to writing this whole record I tried to write something that’s relevant or relatable to everyone, and A Song For You completely fits that vibe.”

A Song For You was written by Andrew, with production from Gareth Nuttall (Lottery Winners, Frank Turner, The K’s). Check out the video below:

The song is the latest track to preview Love Is For Everyone following Alright! and the title track. Cushin possesses a new-found confidence and swagger throughout a collection which captures the raw energy of his live shows without losing sight of the heartbreaking balladry that made fans fall for his debut album.

Oasis man Noel Gallagher is one of the first people to have heard Love Is For Everyone and he has hailed it as an “excellent album.” Gallagher has been a long-term champion of Cushin’s, having produced his early single Where’s My Family Gone and invited him to support at several big shows. Andrew recently rediscovered this clip of Noel highlighting his talents.

Cushin will follow the release of Love Is For Everyone with a UK headline tour, limited tickets for which are available HERE. He will also play the north-east’s biggest ever festival Come Together as part of a bill which includes star names Robbie Williams, Kaiser Chiefs, Perrie and Lottery Winners. His most recent show in the area was a sold-out 4000-capacity headline set at last summer’s Mouth of the Tyne Festival. He has also toured Europe and North America with Louis Tomlinson, and played shows as guest to Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, Blossoms, Lathums and The Reytons.
