It was October of 2022 when nation duo Thompson Square headed to their socials to tease new music with a little bit of a twinkle of their eye for the primary time in a very long time.
Or a minimum of, it regarded that approach.
“The twinkle by no means had left,” says Thompson Sq.’s Keifer Thompson in a brand new interview with Style of Nation. “We simply stopped posting about it. It was nobody’s freaking enterprise.”
He lets out fun to interrupt the transient pressure.
“It is humorous,” Keifer continues. “When you do not have a radio single, everybody thinks you moved to Siberia or one thing.”
Actually, the previous few years have been considerably difficult for the hitmakers of hits together with“Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not” and “If I Didn’t Have You,” because the husband-wife duo have handled every thing from a label change to health issues to an extended break from the radio airwaves.
“We made a aware resolution to go away a label, and we made a aware resolution to step away from radio singles for a bit of bit to focus on our household,” explains Keifer. “We’re very household oriented. These first three or 4 years of a kid’s growth are so essential to their psyche and to the remainder of their life. So, we had been like, ‘Hey, you recognize what? We have carried out effectively, we’ll proceed to tour, we’ll proceed to create and every thing else, however let’s simply faucet the breaks for a second and give attention to our household.’”
Nonetheless, the 2 remained busy with their profession. In 2018, the duo launched their critically acclaimed album Masterpiece independently, a mission that they are saying they’d a blast making.
“We would have liked to test that off the listing,” remarks Keifer. “Our comfortable place is within the studio, writing.”
He pauses earlier than including, “That is certainly one of our favourite albums we have ever carried out.”
Thompson Sq. signed a brand new cope with Quartz Hill Information in 2022, which quickly had them again within the studio within the hopes of making a swath of recent radio singles, together with their latest one, “With out You.” However by way of all of it, they stored their priorities so as — with their largest one being their 7-year-old son, Cooper.
“He’s the middle of every thing,” explains Keifer. “Everybody thinks their child is the neatest on the planet, however there’s one thing particular about him. He is a bit of chief. He is obtained lots of traits that I by no means had, and (spouse and Thompson Sq. bandmate) Shawna (Thompson) by no means had.
“We’re coaching him to only to be individual and take into consideration others earlier than your self and to maintain God first in your life,” he provides. “We’re making an attempt care for our household.”
