Having spent the past three years touring the globe and playing some of the world’s biggest music festivals, RÜFÜS DU SOL appears finally ready to get back in the studio and record a new album after the surprise release of new single, ‘Music is Better’.
Not to be confused with Stardust’s 1998 epic ‘Music Sounds Better With You’, this uplifting track is the EDM trio’s first taste of new music since their critically acclaimed 2021 album, Surrender. First premiered earlier this year during RÜFÜS DU SOL’s unforgettable Coachella set, ‘Music is Better’ is euphoric dance music for the masses and the ideal festival tune.
Taking to Instagram to plug the song, the ensemble of Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt wrote: “New music out everywhere today. This one is for celebrating. Excited to share more soon.”
Released via Rose Avenue/Warner Records, you can give ‘Music is Better"‘ a whirl below.

The release of ‘Music is Better’ comes ahead of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s only announced live show of 2024, with the trio headlining the Portola Festival in San Francisco on Saturday, September 28.
The Grammy Award-winning act has yet to officially reveal a new album is on the way, but the release of ‘Music is Better’ suggests RÜFÜS DU SOL are in the studio cooking up their much-anticipated fifth album.
Following the success of 2021’s Surrender which went straight to the top of the ARIA Charts and spawned the top ten charting singles ‘Alive’, ‘Next To Me’ and ‘ On My Knees’, fans are excited to hear more new music from RÜFÜS DU SOL.
