Warner, Knebworth week, Grohl on the single
On 27 May 2022, Liam Gallagher released C’MON YOU KNOW through Warner Records, his third solo studio album. Andrew Wyatt was the primary producer and co-writer. The same day Gallagher also issued the live set Down by the River Thames. The studio album arrived in the run-up to his sold-out Knebworth Park shows on 3-4 June 2022, so the campaign mixed new songs with a stadium-scale live moment.
The standard edition runs twelve tracks, about forty-five minutes. Opener “More Power” builds on choir and a slow rise. “Diamond in the Dark” and “Don’t Go Halfway” keep a medium rock pace. The title track stretches past five minutes. “Everything’s Electric,” co-written with Dave Grohl and produced by Greg Kurstin, became the lead single and Gallagher’s first solo Top 20 hit in the UK, peaking at No. 18. Charlie Lightening directed the official video, blending new performance footage with live clips.
Other producers and writers rotate through the tracklist. Ezra Koenig appears on “Moscow Rules.” Greg Kurstin, Ariel Rechtshaid, Adam Noble, Emile Haynie, Simon Aldred, and Danny L Harle also take credits on selected songs. Live-band associates Michael Tighe, Dan McDougall, and Mike Moore feed into the writing. “Better Days,” “Too Good for Giving Up,” and “Oh Sweet Children” widen the emotional range without dropping Gallagher’s nasal lead vocal at the center.
Gallagher’s best and most experimental solo album yet.
(NME on C’MON YOU KNOW, 2022)
C’MON YOU KNOW debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and in Scotland. It reached No. 2 in Ireland and Hungary, No. 5 in Australia, No. 8 in Switzerland, No. 10 in Germany, and Top 20 placements across much of Europe. The deluxe edition adds “The Joker” and “Wave,” extending the set for streaming and CD buyers without rewriting the core twelve.
The cover art, drawn from Reading Festival crowd photography, matches the album’s live-first idea: hands in the air, black-and-white flash, and the singer as part of a crowd ritual rather than someone hidden in the studio. On stage that summer, the new songs sat beside Oasis-era favorites without apology. The record’s mix keeps guitars forward, drums solid, and the vocal dry enough to cut through festival PA systems.
As a third solo album, C’MON YOU KNOW confirmed Gallagher could still open at No. 1 with new material, not only with nostalgia packages. Wyatt’s production opens the arrangements. Grohl and Kurstin deliver the radio single, and the rest of the tracklist keeps the Manchester vocal intact. For anyone tracking his post-Oasis catalog, this is the 2022 album: twelve songs, a UK No. 1, and a Knebworth weekend attached.

This is the Liam Gallagher album I lend to people. If they bounce, we talk later. Also the comments section on old forums was wild about this. Good piece.

The cover alone put me off as a kid. Then C’MON YOU KNOW ate my whole summer. I told my coworker and they shrugged. Their loss.

Gateway album for me. Everything after C’MON YOU KNOW made more sense. Also the comments section on old forums was wild about this.

I need headphones for C’MON YOU KNOW. Laptop speakers miss half of it.

Put C’MON YOU KNOW on while cooking. Burned the onions. Worth it.

I like the singles fine. The deep cuts on C’MON YOU KNOW are why I stay. More of this please.
