Stay Together is the sixth studio album by Kaiser Chiefs, released on 7 October 2016. The album's name is a reference to the opening track "We Stay Together".[1][2] The first single from the album, "Parachute", was released on 14 June 2016. The second single, "Hole In My Soul" was released 18 August 2016 and the third and final single, "We Stay Together" was released on 9 December 2016. The album marked a notable shift in the band's sound, incorporating more electronic and synth-pop elements.
The album features a dance-oriented sound and includes songs that explore a range of topics, including monogamy ("We Stay Together") and sex ("Good Clean Fun").[3] In contrast to the album's predecessor, Education, Education, Education and War, which was more focused on politics and the perils of war, the Kaiser Chiefs made Stay Together with a focus on love and relationships. Wilson elaborated further on the stark contrast between the last album and Stay Together: "The thing about writing a protest album is it's straightforward. Only an idiot would disagree with you. You're just saying war is bad. But when you start talking about relationships like on this record it's harder because there’s a lot more blurred lines. There's no right or wrong”.[4]
A sold out UK arena tour followed with critics describing the tour as “WILD, energetic and memorable”.[5]
