Steve Conte releases "Fourth of July" - Single Written With Andy Partridge of XTC

originally published: 07/02/2023


Just in time for the holiday, Steve Conte has released his latest single, "Fourth of July". The song was written with Andy Partridge of XTC and is released on Wicked Cool Records. The track is from an upcoming album expected to be released in 2024.

"With a title like 'Fourth of July' I knew I didn’t want to make this song lyric at all patriotic American or about Independence Day - I wanted it to be about the sparks that fly, the fireworks that go off in a relationship," explained Steve Conte in an email sent to his mailing list. "One with intense chemistry…love, fulfillment …bombs bursting in air, ya know? Explosions, yes - but no stars & stripes. This song was written with one of my favorite songwriters of all time, Andy Partridge - from one of my favorite bands - XTC! I feel blessed to be writing with one of my heroes…and to be recording for Little Steven Van Zandt’s label, Wicked Cool Records."

You can get signed, personalized copies of the limited edition 7” single on Cloudy Blue Vinyl - or link to your favorite digital music sites to buy or stream it from here.

Note: The physical single will not ship until late August/early September, but the downloads & streaming are available now.

"Fourth of July" features Steve Conte - Vocals, Guitars, Organ, Percussion; John Conte - Bass; Prairie Prince - Drums; and Andrew Hollander - Piano. The track was produced By Steve Conte with additional remote production by Andrew Hollander and Andy Partridge. It was mixed by Geoff Sanoff at Renegade Studios, NY.
