Justice has officially shared 'Safe And Sound'

An exciting buzz made its rounds across the internet when an unreleased, Shazam-approved new Justice track was played by Busy P at Sónar.

Quickly identified as 'Safe And Sound', the tune was the perfect mixture of nostalgic and fresh in all the right Justice-infused ways - rich, funky guitar riffs proceeded by an addictive chorus line belted by a choir (which Gaspard later explained was an English choir - "something fun and new").

It seems as though the typically mum French duo have delivered on their promise to unveil their third album after being "locked in the studio every day".

'Safe And Sound' made its official premiere with Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 earlier today. She also spoke with both Gaspard and Xavier, who confirmed that the album is still receiving its "last touches" now, despite the first single's unveiling.

"It's just our impatience," Gaspard explained. "We thought it would be a shame not to give it to the world."

Though the record has yet to be finished and receive a final release date, when asked if we can expect a tour, the duo responded: "We would like to!"
