Borrell on the new Razorlight album

Razorlight's Johnny Borrell tells Metro their new album is better than their debut and says he now admires Coldplay live.

Razorlight's Johnny Borrell says that the band's new album is better than the first. He told Metro: "I was determined to make a positive record. It's all autobiographical, but I hate it when bands release a gloomy second album about how tough it is being famous. Actually, there's a lot about belief on this record. And yeah I'm very proud. Do I think it's better than 'Up All Night'? Fuck Yeah!"

He added that his recent success has had an effect on the way he views the competition, adding: "I've lost respect and gained respect for various people. Before you've actually created a band, you can think it's very easy. If you'd have asked me about Coldplay when I was 18, I'd have said 'Fuck off, I hate them.' But seeing them perform, it occurred to me they're great."
