Biography[edit]

Early life[edit]

Davis graduated at 16 from Lubbock High School in Lubbock, Texas. He spent his childhood years with his sister Linda, living and working at the former College Courts, an efficiency apartment complex owned by his father, T.J. Davis. Davis describes his father, who was divorced from Davis' mother, as 'very religious, very strict, and very stubborn'. Though Davis was physically small, he had a penchant for getting into fistfights. 'In those days, it was all about football, rodeo, and fistfights. Oh, man, I got beat up so much while I was growing up in Lubbock,' Davis said in a March 2, 2008, interview with the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal newspaper. 'I was 5 feet, 9 inches, and weighed 125 pounds. I joined Golden Gloves, but didn't do good even in my [own] division.' After he finished high school, Davis moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where his mother lived, to get out of Lubbock.[1]

Career as a songwriter[edit]

Once he was settled in Atlanta, he organized a rock and roll group called the Zots, and made two singles for OEK Records, managed and promoted by OEK owner Oscar Kilgo.[2] Davis also worked for the Vee Jay record company (home to such R&B stars as Gene Chandler, Jerry Butler, and Dee Clark) as a regional manager, and later also served as a regional manager for Liberty Records.[1]

Mac Davis Lane intersects Avenue Q (U.S. Highway 84) in Davis's hometown of Lubbock.

Davis became famous as a songwriter and got his start as an employee of Nancy Sinatra's company, Boots Enterprises, Inc. Davis was with Boots for several years in the late 1960s. During his time there, he played on many of Sinatra's recordings, and she worked him into her stage shows. Boots Enterprises also acted as Davis's publishing company, publishing songs such as 'In the Ghetto', 'Friend, Lover, Woman, Wife', 'Home', 'It's Such a Lonely Time of Year', and 'Memories', which were recorded by Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra, B. J. Thomas, and many others. Davis left Boots Enterprises in 1970 to sign with Columbia Records, taking all of his songs with him.

One of the songs he wrote in 1968, called 'A Little Less Conversation', was recorded by Elvis Presley (and would become a posthumous success for Presley years later). Presley recorded 'In the Ghetto'[1] in sessions in Memphis. According to record producer Jimmy Bowen, 'Ghetto' was originally pitched to Sammy Davis, Jr. but Mac Davis, guitar in hand, played the song in a studio, with onlookers such as Jesse Jackson and other members of the black activist community. Mac Davis, the only white man in the room at the time, eventually told Bowen, 'I don't know whether to thank ya, or to kill ya.' Mac Davis eventually recorded the tune after Presley's version became a success, and was released in a Ronco In Concert compilation in 1975. It was later released on a campy Rhino Records Golden Throats compilation in 1991. The song became a success for Presley and he continued to record more of Davis's material, such as 'Memories', 'Don't Cry Daddy', and 'Clean Up Your Own Backyard'. Bobby Goldsboro also recorded some of Davis's songs, including 'Watching Scotty Grow',[1] which became a #1 Adult Contemporary success for Goldsboro in 1971. Other artists who recorded his material included Vikki Carr, O.C. Smith, and Kenny Rogers and The First Edition. 'I Believe in Music', often considered to be Davis's signature song, was recorded by several artists (including Marian Love, B.J. Thomas, Louis Jordan, Perry Como, Helen Reddy, and Davis himself) before it finally became a success in 1972 for the group Gallery.

Later, he also became known as a country singer. During the 1970s, many of his songs 'crossed over', successfully scoring on both the country and popular music charts, including 'Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me'[1] (a number one, Grammy-nominated success), 'One Hell of a Woman' (pop no. 11), and 'Stop and Smell the Roses' (a no. 9 pop hit).[1] Also, during the 1970s, he was very active as an actor, appearing in several movies, as well as hosting a successful variety show.

Success as a singer[edit]

Davis soon decided to pursue a career of his own in country music; he was signed to Columbia Records in 1970. After several years of enriching the repertoires of other artists, his big success came two years after signing with Columbia. He topped the Country and Pop charts with the song 'Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me'. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the Recording Industry Association of America in September 1972.[3]

Some of Davis's lyrics invoked overtly sexual relationships. In the song 'Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me', he pleads with a woman not to become too enamored with him, because he does not want to commit to a full-time relationship. Other successful songs, such as 'Naughty Girl' and 'Baby Spread Your Love on Me', contained similar lyrics.

In 1974, Davis was awarded the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year award. Some of Davis's other successes include the songs 'Stop and Smell the Roses' (a number one Adult Contemporary success in 1974) (pop no. 9), 'One Hell of a Woman' (pop no. 11), 'Rock 'N' Roll (I Gave You the Best Years of My Life)' (pop no. 15), and 'Burnin' Thing' (pop no. 53). At the end of the 1970s, he moved to Casablanca Records, which was best known at the time for its successes with disco star Donna Summer and rock'n'roll band Kiss. His first success for the company in 1980 was the novelty song 'It's Hard to Be Humble', a light-hearted look at how popularity and good looks could go to one's head. The song became his first Country music top 10 and a rare top 30 hit in the UK. (It was translated into Dutch as 'Het is moeilijk bescheiden te blijven' and became a hit for the Dutch singer Peter Blanker in 1981). Later that year, he also had another top 10 song with 'Let's Keep It That Way'. In November, 'Rock'n'Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)' was played by KHJ in Los Angeles as its last song before it switched from Top 40 to Country music.[4] He achieved other successful songs, such as 'Texas In My Rear View Mirror' and 'Hooked on Music', which became his biggest Country music success in 1981, going to no. 2. In 1985, he recorded his last top 10 country music success with the song 'I Never Made Love (Till I Made Love With You)'.

On January 19, 1985, Davis performed 'God Bless the USA' at the 50th Presidential Inaugural Gala, held the day before the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan.

On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Mac Davis among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.[5]

Acting career[edit]

From 1974 to 1976, Davis had his own television variety show on NBC, The Mac Davis Show. He made his feature film debut opposite Nick Nolte in the football film, North Dallas Forty (1979) and was listed as one of 12 'Promising New Actors of 1979' by Screen World magazine.

Davis also starred in the 1981 comedy film Cheaper To Keep Her, playing a divorced detective who worked for a neurotic feminist attorney. He tracked down husbands who were failing to pay alimony to their ex-wives, to fund his own alimony payments for his own ex-wife. The film received mainly negative reviews and was not a box-office success.

In 1980, Davis hosted an episode of The Muppet Show.[6] He performed 'Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me', 'It's Hard To Be Humble', and “I Believe in Music”.

In 1983, he appeared in The Sting II, as Jake Hooker, a younger relative of Johnny Hooker, who was played by Robert Redford in The Sting.

Davis played Will Rogers in the Broadway production of The Will Rogers Follies.

In 1998, Davis starred in the sports comedy Possums, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.

Davis served as the balladeer for the 2000 telefilm The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood, replacing Don Williams, who had served the part in 1997's The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!, and Waylon Jennings, who narrated the original Dukes of Hazzard television show. Davis was the first balladeer to appear on-screen to welcome the audience and provide exposition.

Davis was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000. He was awarded a star symbol on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 7080 Hollywood Boulevard, for his contribution to the recording industry.

In 2001, Davis played a fellow karaoke competitor to Jon Gries's Sunny Holiday in the Polish brothers' film Jackpot. In the film, a dispute began between Sunny's manager, played by Garrett Morris, and Davis's character about what song he should sing. The manager suggested Davis's 'Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me', which Davis's character claimed just was not him.

Watching (1975 India Song Gck For Mac

In 2001-03, Davis voiced the character of Barber Bingo on two episodes of the animated TV series Oswald: 'Henry Needs A Haircut' and 'The Naughty Cat'.

Between 1999 and 2006, Davis provided the character voices of Sheriff Buford (two episodes) and a talk radio host named 'Sports Jock' (three episodes), on the animated series King of the Hill.

Davis also guest-starred briefly in the 8 Simple Rules episode 'Let's Keep Going: Part 2' in April 2004.

He had a recurring role as Rodney Carrington's father-in-law in the sitcom Rodney.

Family life[edit]

He has married three times and has three children: Joel Scott, Noah Claire, and Cody Luke.[citation needed]

Gck

Marriages:

  • Fran Cook: 1963–1968[citation needed]

(divorced); one son, Joel Scott[7]

  • Sarah Barg: 1971–1976 (divorced)[1]
  • Lise Kristen Gerard: 1982–present (two children, Noah Claire and Cody Luke)[8]

At 21, he married a Georgian, Fran Cook, and when their son, Joel Scott, was born a year later,[1] he shifted from playing rock bands to learning the music business via Liberty Records' publishing division. The Liberty job got him to Los Angeles and made it easier to 'pitch his own tunes' to record producers. 'One day Fran decided to do her own thing and she wanted me to do mine.' They divorced and she returned to Atlanta.

Mac next met Sarah Barg, then 16 and living in his apartment building with her mother. Two years later, they were married. 'We talked about having a family, but I was waiting for her to grow up,' he says. She left him in 1976 for Glen Campbell and had one child (Dillon) with Campbell, whom she also left shortly after Dillon's birth. 'Obviously, I was right,' Davis once stated.

In 1980, Davis started to date a young nurse, Lise Gerard.[9] They married in 1982 when she was 24, and they subsequently had two children.[8]

Notes on a Conditional Form is the upcoming fourth studio album by English band The 1975, scheduled for release on 24 April 2020 through Dirty Hit and Polydor Records. The album follows their third album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (2018) and is the second of two albums from their third release cycle, 'Music for Cars'.

Background[edit]

In 2017, The 1975 announced their third studio album would be titled Music for Cars,[1] in reference to their third extended play of the same name. Lead singer Matty Healy stated on Twitter that the band would release the album in 2018, followed by the release of an album under the name Drive Like I Do, the band's previous moniker, in the spring of the next coming years.[2]

On 31 May 2018, the band released the single 'Give Yourself a Try' from their third studio album, now titled A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships. With the release came the announcement that Music for Cars was no longer an album, but rather an 'era' containing two albums, scrapping the planned Drive Like I Do album in favour of releasing a fourth studio album in May 2019.[3]

On 21 February 2019, the band announced that the first single from the album would release on 31 May, with the album following 'before Reading Festival', which took place on 23 August 2019.[4]

During a Reddit AMA on 5 March 2019, a fan asked if the album would be an emo record, to which Healy responded 'Kind of yeah'.[5] He later reiterated the comment in an article with NME on 15 April 2019; 'I’m an active emo man I suppose I’d call myself, I think that bands when they get to a stage that maybe we’re in they wanna kind of graduate into being like a massive rock band whereas we wanna graduate like into being a small emo band, if you know what I mean'.[6]

On 14 April 2019, Healy also shared a promotional image on Twitter teasing artwork for the album.[7] Three days later, Healy retweeted a video of him performing an unreleased song titled 'Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America', and adding the caption 'Notes'.[8]

On 23 July 2019, as with all other eras, all social media pages associated with the band became deactivated. The next day, all band accounts were reactivated and the first song on the album, 'The 1975', was released, featuring a monologue from climate change activist Greta Thunberg. A countdown then began counting down to the release of the lead single, 'People', which was released on 22 August 2019. The album was subsequently announced for release on 21 February 2020 via an iTunes preorder. It will be 22 tracks long. 'Frail State of Mind' then followed later in the year, being released on October 24, 2019.[9]

On 13 January 2020, the album's release was pushed back to 24 April 2020, and the album cover was changed, changing back to the original artwork two days later.[10][better source needed]

Music[edit]

In an interview with Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, Healy explained that the album would be inspired by British nighttime culture, adding that it contains references to 'the beauty of the M25 and all those lights and going to McDonald's and listening to garage records in a haze in a Peugeot 206.'[11] He also told Q that the album has a style similar to English alternative hip hop music group The Streets and British electronic musicianBurial.[12] In a separate interview, he added that the record has 'one of my best lyrics ever.'[13]

On Beats 1, Healy confirmed that the first single will be released at midnight on 31 May 2019, and said that the band are trying to decide between three songs to lead off the next album.[14] However, they did not release any new music on 31 May nor the weekend. Later that week, Healy stated 'I will start putting music out in August but I really don’t know when the whole album will be out'.[15]

On 24 July 2019, the band released the first song off the album, 'The 1975'. This introduction, unlike previous years, featured an essay from Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

On 22 August 2019, the band released the lead single entitled 'People'. The song was praised for Healy's emotion as well as the decisive rock sound 'People' delivered. The song's release was accompanied by a music video directed by Warren Fu.

On 25 October 2019, the band released the second single off the album, titled 'Frail State of Mind'. The song premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 Radio Show on Apple Music. A music video for the song was released on 21 November 2019.[16]

The third single from the album, 'Me & You Together Song', was premiered as Annie Mac's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 on 16 January 2020.[17]

Track listing[edit]

Adapted from Apple Music. The album will feature 22 tracks in total.[9] All tracks written by all members of The 1975, except where noted; all tracks produced by Matt Healy and George Daniel, except where noted.

Biography[edit]

Early life[edit]

Davis graduated at 16 from Lubbock High School in Lubbock, Texas. He spent his childhood years with his sister Linda, living and working at the former College Courts, an efficiency apartment complex owned by his father, T.J. Davis. Davis describes his father, who was divorced from Davis\' mother, as \'very religious, very strict, and very stubborn\'. Though Davis was physically small, he had a penchant for getting into fistfights. \'In those days, it was all about football, rodeo, and fistfights. Oh, man, I got beat up so much while I was growing up in Lubbock,\' Davis said in a March 2, 2008, interview with the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal newspaper. \'I was 5 feet, 9 inches, and weighed 125 pounds. I joined Golden Gloves, but didn\'t do good even in my [own] division.\' After he finished high school, Davis moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where his mother lived, to get out of Lubbock.[1]

Career as a songwriter[edit]

Once he was settled in Atlanta, he organized a rock and roll group called the Zots, and made two singles for OEK Records, managed and promoted by OEK owner Oscar Kilgo.[2] Davis also worked for the Vee Jay record company (home to such R&B stars as Gene Chandler, Jerry Butler, and Dee Clark) as a regional manager, and later also served as a regional manager for Liberty Records.[1]

Mac Davis Lane intersects Avenue Q (U.S. Highway 84) in Davis\'s hometown of Lubbock.

Davis became famous as a songwriter and got his start as an employee of Nancy Sinatra\'s company, Boots Enterprises, Inc. Davis was with Boots for several years in the late 1960s. During his time there, he played on many of Sinatra\'s recordings, and she worked him into her stage shows. Boots Enterprises also acted as Davis\'s publishing company, publishing songs such as \'In the Ghetto\', \'Friend, Lover, Woman, Wife\', \'Home\', \'It\'s Such a Lonely Time of Year\', and \'Memories\', which were recorded by Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra, B. J. Thomas, and many others. Davis left Boots Enterprises in 1970 to sign with Columbia Records, taking all of his songs with him.

One of the songs he wrote in 1968, called \'A Little Less Conversation\', was recorded by Elvis Presley (and would become a posthumous success for Presley years later). Presley recorded \'In the Ghetto\'[1] in sessions in Memphis. According to record producer Jimmy Bowen, \'Ghetto\' was originally pitched to Sammy Davis, Jr. but Mac Davis, guitar in hand, played the song in a studio, with onlookers such as Jesse Jackson and other members of the black activist community. Mac Davis, the only white man in the room at the time, eventually told Bowen, \'I don\'t know whether to thank ya, or to kill ya.\' Mac Davis eventually recorded the tune after Presley\'s version became a success, and was released in a Ronco In Concert compilation in 1975. It was later released on a campy Rhino Records Golden Throats compilation in 1991. The song became a success for Presley and he continued to record more of Davis\'s material, such as \'Memories\', \'Don\'t Cry Daddy\', and \'Clean Up Your Own Backyard\'. Bobby Goldsboro also recorded some of Davis\'s songs, including \'Watching Scotty Grow\',[1] which became a #1 Adult Contemporary success for Goldsboro in 1971. Other artists who recorded his material included Vikki Carr, O.C. Smith, and Kenny Rogers and The First Edition. \'I Believe in Music\', often considered to be Davis\'s signature song, was recorded by several artists (including Marian Love, B.J. Thomas, Louis Jordan, Perry Como, Helen Reddy, and Davis himself) before it finally became a success in 1972 for the group Gallery.

Later, he also became known as a country singer. During the 1970s, many of his songs \'crossed over\', successfully scoring on both the country and popular music charts, including \'Baby, Don\'t Get Hooked on Me\'[1] (a number one, Grammy-nominated success), \'One Hell of a Woman\' (pop no. 11), and \'Stop and Smell the Roses\' (a no. 9 pop hit).[1] Also, during the 1970s, he was very active as an actor, appearing in several movies, as well as hosting a successful variety show.

Success as a singer[edit]

Davis soon decided to pursue a career of his own in country music; he was signed to Columbia Records in 1970. After several years of enriching the repertoires of other artists, his big success came two years after signing with Columbia. He topped the Country and Pop charts with the song \'Baby Don\'t Get Hooked on Me\'. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the Recording Industry Association of America in September 1972.[3]

Some of Davis\'s lyrics invoked overtly sexual relationships. In the song \'Baby Don\'t Get Hooked on Me\', he pleads with a woman not to become too enamored with him, because he does not want to commit to a full-time relationship. Other successful songs, such as \'Naughty Girl\' and \'Baby Spread Your Love on Me\', contained similar lyrics.

In 1974, Davis was awarded the Academy of Country Music\'s Entertainer of the Year award. Some of Davis\'s other successes include the songs \'Stop and Smell the Roses\' (a number one Adult Contemporary success in 1974) (pop no. 9), \'One Hell of a Woman\' (pop no. 11), \'Rock \'N' Roll (I Gave You the Best Years of My Life)\' (pop no. 15), and \'Burnin\' Thing\' (pop no. 53). At the end of the 1970s, he moved to Casablanca Records, which was best known at the time for its successes with disco star Donna Summer and rock\'n'roll band Kiss. His first success for the company in 1980 was the novelty song \'It\'s Hard to Be Humble\', a light-hearted look at how popularity and good looks could go to one\'s head. The song became his first Country music top 10 and a rare top 30 hit in the UK. (It was translated into Dutch as \'Het is moeilijk bescheiden te blijven\' and became a hit for the Dutch singer Peter Blanker in 1981). Later that year, he also had another top 10 song with \'Let\'s Keep It That Way\'. In November, \'Rock\'n'Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)\' was played by KHJ in Los Angeles as its last song before it switched from Top 40 to Country music.[4] He achieved other successful songs, such as \'Texas In My Rear View Mirror\' and \'Hooked on Music\', which became his biggest Country music success in 1981, going to no. 2. In 1985, he recorded his last top 10 country music success with the song \'I Never Made Love (Till I Made Love With You)\'.

On January 19, 1985, Davis performed \'God Bless the USA\' at the 50th Presidential Inaugural Gala, held the day before the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan.

On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Mac Davis among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.[5]

Acting career[edit]

From 1974 to 1976, Davis had his own television variety show on NBC, The Mac Davis Show. He made his feature film debut opposite Nick Nolte in the football film, North Dallas Forty (1979) and was listed as one of 12 \'Promising New Actors of 1979\' by Screen World magazine.

Davis also starred in the 1981 comedy film Cheaper To Keep Her, playing a divorced detective who worked for a neurotic feminist attorney. He tracked down husbands who were failing to pay alimony to their ex-wives, to fund his own alimony payments for his own ex-wife. The film received mainly negative reviews and was not a box-office success.

In 1980, Davis hosted an episode of The Muppet Show.[6] He performed \'Baby, Don\'t Get Hooked On Me\', \'It\'s Hard To Be Humble\', and “I Believe in Music”.

In 1983, he appeared in The Sting II, as Jake Hooker, a younger relative of Johnny Hooker, who was played by Robert Redford in The Sting.

Davis played Will Rogers in the Broadway production of The Will Rogers Follies.

In 1998, Davis starred in the sports comedy Possums, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.

\'Snapgene\'

Davis served as the balladeer for the 2000 telefilm The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood, replacing Don Williams, who had served the part in 1997\'s The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!, and Waylon Jennings, who narrated the original Dukes of Hazzard television show. Davis was the first balladeer to appear on-screen to welcome the audience and provide exposition.

Davis was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000. He was awarded a star symbol on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 7080 Hollywood Boulevard, for his contribution to the recording industry.

In 2001, Davis played a fellow karaoke competitor to Jon Gries\'s Sunny Holiday in the Polish brothers\' film Jackpot. In the film, a dispute began between Sunny\'s manager, played by Garrett Morris, and Davis\'s character about what song he should sing. The manager suggested Davis\'s \'Baby, Don\'t Get Hooked On Me\', which Davis\'s character claimed just was not him.

\'Watching

In 2001-03, Davis voiced the character of Barber Bingo on two episodes of the animated TV series Oswald: \'Henry Needs A Haircut\' and \'The Naughty Cat\'.

Between 1999 and 2006, Davis provided the character voices of Sheriff Buford (two episodes) and a talk radio host named \'Sports Jock\' (three episodes), on the animated series King of the Hill.

Davis also guest-starred briefly in the 8 Simple Rules episode \'Let\'s Keep Going: Part 2\' in April 2004.

He had a recurring role as Rodney Carrington\'s father-in-law in the sitcom Rodney.

Family life[edit]

He has married three times and has three children: Joel Scott, Noah Claire, and Cody Luke.[citation needed]

\'Gck\'

Marriages:

  • Fran Cook: 1963–1968[citation needed]

(divorced); one son, Joel Scott[7]

  • Sarah Barg: 1971–1976 (divorced)[1]
  • Lise Kristen Gerard: 1982–present (two children, Noah Claire and Cody Luke)[8]

At 21, he married a Georgian, Fran Cook, and when their son, Joel Scott, was born a year later,[1] he shifted from playing rock bands to learning the music business via Liberty Records\' publishing division. The Liberty job got him to Los Angeles and made it easier to \'pitch his own tunes\' to record producers. \'One day Fran decided to do her own thing and she wanted me to do mine.\' They divorced and she returned to Atlanta.

Mac next met Sarah Barg, then 16 and living in his apartment building with her mother. Two years later, they were married. \'We talked about having a family, but I was waiting for her to grow up,\' he says. She left him in 1976 for Glen Campbell and had one child (Dillon) with Campbell, whom she also left shortly after Dillon\'s birth. \'Obviously, I was right,\' Davis once stated.

In 1980, Davis started to date a young nurse, Lise Gerard.[9] They married in 1982 when she was 24, and they subsequently had two children.[8]

Notes on a Conditional Form is the upcoming fourth studio album by English band The 1975, scheduled for release on 24 April 2020 through Dirty Hit and Polydor Records. The album follows their third album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (2018) and is the second of two albums from their third release cycle, \'Music for Cars\'.

Background[edit]

In 2017, The 1975 announced their third studio album would be titled Music for Cars,[1] in reference to their third extended play of the same name. Lead singer Matty Healy stated on Twitter that the band would release the album in 2018, followed by the release of an album under the name Drive Like I Do, the band\'s previous moniker, in the spring of the next coming years.[2]

On 31 May 2018, the band released the single \'Give Yourself a Try\' from their third studio album, now titled A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships. With the release came the announcement that Music for Cars was no longer an album, but rather an \'era\' containing two albums, scrapping the planned Drive Like I Do album in favour of releasing a fourth studio album in May 2019.[3]

On 21 February 2019, the band announced that the first single from the album would release on 31 May, with the album following \'before Reading Festival\', which took place on 23 August 2019.[4]

During a Reddit AMA on 5 March 2019, a fan asked if the album would be an emo record, to which Healy responded \'Kind of yeah\'.[5] He later reiterated the comment in an article with NME on 15 April 2019; \'I’m an active emo man I suppose I’d call myself, I think that bands when they get to a stage that maybe we’re in they wanna kind of graduate into being like a massive rock band whereas we wanna graduate like into being a small emo band, if you know what I mean\'.[6]

On 14 April 2019, Healy also shared a promotional image on Twitter teasing artwork for the album.[7] Three days later, Healy retweeted a video of him performing an unreleased song titled \'Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America\', and adding the caption \'Notes\'.[8]

On 23 July 2019, as with all other eras, all social media pages associated with the band became deactivated. The next day, all band accounts were reactivated and the first song on the album, \'The 1975\', was released, featuring a monologue from climate change activist Greta Thunberg. A countdown then began counting down to the release of the lead single, \'People\', which was released on 22 August 2019. The album was subsequently announced for release on 21 February 2020 via an iTunes preorder. It will be 22 tracks long. \'Frail State of Mind\' then followed later in the year, being released on October 24, 2019.[9]

On 13 January 2020, the album\'s release was pushed back to 24 April 2020, and the album cover was changed, changing back to the original artwork two days later.[10][better source needed]

Music[edit]

In an interview with Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, Healy explained that the album would be inspired by British nighttime culture, adding that it contains references to \'the beauty of the M25 and all those lights and going to McDonald\'s and listening to garage records in a haze in a Peugeot 206.\'[11] He also told Q that the album has a style similar to English alternative hip hop music group The Streets and British electronic musicianBurial.[12] In a separate interview, he added that the record has \'one of my best lyrics ever.\'[13]

On Beats 1, Healy confirmed that the first single will be released at midnight on 31 May 2019, and said that the band are trying to decide between three songs to lead off the next album.[14] However, they did not release any new music on 31 May nor the weekend. Later that week, Healy stated \'I will start putting music out in August but I really don’t know when the whole album will be out\'.[15]

On 24 July 2019, the band released the first song off the album, \'The 1975\'. This introduction, unlike previous years, featured an essay from Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

On 22 August 2019, the band released the lead single entitled \'People\'. The song was praised for Healy\'s emotion as well as the decisive rock sound \'People\' delivered. The song\'s release was accompanied by a music video directed by Warren Fu.

On 25 October 2019, the band released the second single off the album, titled \'Frail State of Mind\'. The song premiered on Zane Lowe\'s Beats 1 Radio Show on Apple Music. A music video for the song was released on 21 November 2019.[16]

The third single from the album, \'Me & You Together Song\', was premiered as Annie Mac\'s Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 on 16 January 2020.[17]

Track listing[edit]

Adapted from Apple Music. The album will feature 22 tracks in total.[9] All tracks written by all members of The 1975, except where noted; all tracks produced by Matt Healy and George Daniel, except where noted.

    Biography[edit]

    Early life[edit]

    Davis graduated at 16 from Lubbock High School in Lubbock, Texas. He spent his childhood years with his sister Linda, living and working at the former College Courts, an efficiency apartment complex owned by his father, T.J. Davis. Davis describes his father, who was divorced from Davis\' mother, as \'very religious, very strict, and very stubborn\'. Though Davis was physically small, he had a penchant for getting into fistfights. \'In those days, it was all about football, rodeo, and fistfights. Oh, man, I got beat up so much while I was growing up in Lubbock,\' Davis said in a March 2, 2008, interview with the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal newspaper. \'I was 5 feet, 9 inches, and weighed 125 pounds. I joined Golden Gloves, but didn\'t do good even in my [own] division.\' After he finished high school, Davis moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where his mother lived, to get out of Lubbock.[1]

    Career as a songwriter[edit]

    Once he was settled in Atlanta, he organized a rock and roll group called the Zots, and made two singles for OEK Records, managed and promoted by OEK owner Oscar Kilgo.[2] Davis also worked for the Vee Jay record company (home to such R&B stars as Gene Chandler, Jerry Butler, and Dee Clark) as a regional manager, and later also served as a regional manager for Liberty Records.[1]

    Mac Davis Lane intersects Avenue Q (U.S. Highway 84) in Davis\'s hometown of Lubbock.

    Davis became famous as a songwriter and got his start as an employee of Nancy Sinatra\'s company, Boots Enterprises, Inc. Davis was with Boots for several years in the late 1960s. During his time there, he played on many of Sinatra\'s recordings, and she worked him into her stage shows. Boots Enterprises also acted as Davis\'s publishing company, publishing songs such as \'In the Ghetto\', \'Friend, Lover, Woman, Wife\', \'Home\', \'It\'s Such a Lonely Time of Year\', and \'Memories\', which were recorded by Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra, B. J. Thomas, and many others. Davis left Boots Enterprises in 1970 to sign with Columbia Records, taking all of his songs with him.

    One of the songs he wrote in 1968, called \'A Little Less Conversation\', was recorded by Elvis Presley (and would become a posthumous success for Presley years later). Presley recorded \'In the Ghetto\'[1] in sessions in Memphis. According to record producer Jimmy Bowen, \'Ghetto\' was originally pitched to Sammy Davis, Jr. but Mac Davis, guitar in hand, played the song in a studio, with onlookers such as Jesse Jackson and other members of the black activist community. Mac Davis, the only white man in the room at the time, eventually told Bowen, \'I don\'t know whether to thank ya, or to kill ya.\' Mac Davis eventually recorded the tune after Presley\'s version became a success, and was released in a Ronco In Concert compilation in 1975. It was later released on a campy Rhino Records Golden Throats compilation in 1991. The song became a success for Presley and he continued to record more of Davis\'s material, such as \'Memories\', \'Don\'t Cry Daddy\', and \'Clean Up Your Own Backyard\'. Bobby Goldsboro also recorded some of Davis\'s songs, including \'Watching Scotty Grow\',[1] which became a #1 Adult Contemporary success for Goldsboro in 1971. Other artists who recorded his material included Vikki Carr, O.C. Smith, and Kenny Rogers and The First Edition. \'I Believe in Music\', often considered to be Davis\'s signature song, was recorded by several artists (including Marian Love, B.J. Thomas, Louis Jordan, Perry Como, Helen Reddy, and Davis himself) before it finally became a success in 1972 for the group Gallery.

    Later, he also became known as a country singer. During the 1970s, many of his songs \'crossed over\', successfully scoring on both the country and popular music charts, including \'Baby, Don\'t Get Hooked on Me\'[1] (a number one, Grammy-nominated success), \'One Hell of a Woman\' (pop no. 11), and \'Stop and Smell the Roses\' (a no. 9 pop hit).[1] Also, during the 1970s, he was very active as an actor, appearing in several movies, as well as hosting a successful variety show.

    Success as a singer[edit]

    Davis soon decided to pursue a career of his own in country music; he was signed to Columbia Records in 1970. After several years of enriching the repertoires of other artists, his big success came two years after signing with Columbia. He topped the Country and Pop charts with the song \'Baby Don\'t Get Hooked on Me\'. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the Recording Industry Association of America in September 1972.[3]

    Some of Davis\'s lyrics invoked overtly sexual relationships. In the song \'Baby Don\'t Get Hooked on Me\', he pleads with a woman not to become too enamored with him, because he does not want to commit to a full-time relationship. Other successful songs, such as \'Naughty Girl\' and \'Baby Spread Your Love on Me\', contained similar lyrics.

    In 1974, Davis was awarded the Academy of Country Music\'s Entertainer of the Year award. Some of Davis\'s other successes include the songs \'Stop and Smell the Roses\' (a number one Adult Contemporary success in 1974) (pop no. 9), \'One Hell of a Woman\' (pop no. 11), \'Rock \'N' Roll (I Gave You the Best Years of My Life)\' (pop no. 15), and \'Burnin\' Thing\' (pop no. 53). At the end of the 1970s, he moved to Casablanca Records, which was best known at the time for its successes with disco star Donna Summer and rock\'n'roll band Kiss. His first success for the company in 1980 was the novelty song \'It\'s Hard to Be Humble\', a light-hearted look at how popularity and good looks could go to one\'s head. The song became his first Country music top 10 and a rare top 30 hit in the UK. (It was translated into Dutch as \'Het is moeilijk bescheiden te blijven\' and became a hit for the Dutch singer Peter Blanker in 1981). Later that year, he also had another top 10 song with \'Let\'s Keep It That Way\'. In November, \'Rock\'n'Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)\' was played by KHJ in Los Angeles as its last song before it switched from Top 40 to Country music.[4] He achieved other successful songs, such as \'Texas In My Rear View Mirror\' and \'Hooked on Music\', which became his biggest Country music success in 1981, going to no. 2. In 1985, he recorded his last top 10 country music success with the song \'I Never Made Love (Till I Made Love With You)\'.

    On January 19, 1985, Davis performed \'God Bless the USA\' at the 50th Presidential Inaugural Gala, held the day before the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan.

    On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Mac Davis among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.[5]

    Acting career[edit]

    From 1974 to 1976, Davis had his own television variety show on NBC, The Mac Davis Show. He made his feature film debut opposite Nick Nolte in the football film, North Dallas Forty (1979) and was listed as one of 12 \'Promising New Actors of 1979\' by Screen World magazine.

    Davis also starred in the 1981 comedy film Cheaper To Keep Her, playing a divorced detective who worked for a neurotic feminist attorney. He tracked down husbands who were failing to pay alimony to their ex-wives, to fund his own alimony payments for his own ex-wife. The film received mainly negative reviews and was not a box-office success.

    In 1980, Davis hosted an episode of The Muppet Show.[6] He performed \'Baby, Don\'t Get Hooked On Me\', \'It\'s Hard To Be Humble\', and “I Believe in Music”.

    In 1983, he appeared in The Sting II, as Jake Hooker, a younger relative of Johnny Hooker, who was played by Robert Redford in The Sting.

    Davis played Will Rogers in the Broadway production of The Will Rogers Follies.

    In 1998, Davis starred in the sports comedy Possums, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.

    \'Snapgene\'

    Davis served as the balladeer for the 2000 telefilm The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood, replacing Don Williams, who had served the part in 1997\'s The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!, and Waylon Jennings, who narrated the original Dukes of Hazzard television show. Davis was the first balladeer to appear on-screen to welcome the audience and provide exposition.

    Davis was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000. He was awarded a star symbol on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 7080 Hollywood Boulevard, for his contribution to the recording industry.

    In 2001, Davis played a fellow karaoke competitor to Jon Gries\'s Sunny Holiday in the Polish brothers\' film Jackpot. In the film, a dispute began between Sunny\'s manager, played by Garrett Morris, and Davis\'s character about what song he should sing. The manager suggested Davis\'s \'Baby, Don\'t Get Hooked On Me\', which Davis\'s character claimed just was not him.

    \'Watching

    In 2001-03, Davis voiced the character of Barber Bingo on two episodes of the animated TV series Oswald: \'Henry Needs A Haircut\' and \'The Naughty Cat\'.

    Between 1999 and 2006, Davis provided the character voices of Sheriff Buford (two episodes) and a talk radio host named \'Sports Jock\' (three episodes), on the animated series King of the Hill.

    Davis also guest-starred briefly in the 8 Simple Rules episode \'Let\'s Keep Going: Part 2\' in April 2004.

    He had a recurring role as Rodney Carrington\'s father-in-law in the sitcom Rodney.

    Family life[edit]

    He has married three times and has three children: Joel Scott, Noah Claire, and Cody Luke.[citation needed]

    \'Gck\'

    Marriages:

    • Fran Cook: 1963–1968[citation needed]

    (divorced); one son, Joel Scott[7]

    • Sarah Barg: 1971–1976 (divorced)[1]
    • Lise Kristen Gerard: 1982–present (two children, Noah Claire and Cody Luke)[8]

    At 21, he married a Georgian, Fran Cook, and when their son, Joel Scott, was born a year later,[1] he shifted from playing rock bands to learning the music business via Liberty Records\' publishing division. The Liberty job got him to Los Angeles and made it easier to \'pitch his own tunes\' to record producers. \'One day Fran decided to do her own thing and she wanted me to do mine.\' They divorced and she returned to Atlanta.

    Mac next met Sarah Barg, then 16 and living in his apartment building with her mother. Two years later, they were married. \'We talked about having a family, but I was waiting for her to grow up,\' he says. She left him in 1976 for Glen Campbell and had one child (Dillon) with Campbell, whom she also left shortly after Dillon\'s birth. \'Obviously, I was right,\' Davis once stated.

    In 1980, Davis started to date a young nurse, Lise Gerard.[9] They married in 1982 when she was 24, and they subsequently had two children.[8]

    Notes on a Conditional Form is the upcoming fourth studio album by English band The 1975, scheduled for release on 24 April 2020 through Dirty Hit and Polydor Records. The album follows their third album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (2018) and is the second of two albums from their third release cycle, \'Music for Cars\'.

    Background[edit]

    In 2017, The 1975 announced their third studio album would be titled Music for Cars,[1] in reference to their third extended play of the same name. Lead singer Matty Healy stated on Twitter that the band would release the album in 2018, followed by the release of an album under the name Drive Like I Do, the band\'s previous moniker, in the spring of the next coming years.[2]

    On 31 May 2018, the band released the single \'Give Yourself a Try\' from their third studio album, now titled A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships. With the release came the announcement that Music for Cars was no longer an album, but rather an \'era\' containing two albums, scrapping the planned Drive Like I Do album in favour of releasing a fourth studio album in May 2019.[3]

    On 21 February 2019, the band announced that the first single from the album would release on 31 May, with the album following \'before Reading Festival\', which took place on 23 August 2019.[4]

    During a Reddit AMA on 5 March 2019, a fan asked if the album would be an emo record, to which Healy responded \'Kind of yeah\'.[5] He later reiterated the comment in an article with NME on 15 April 2019; \'I’m an active emo man I suppose I’d call myself, I think that bands when they get to a stage that maybe we’re in they wanna kind of graduate into being like a massive rock band whereas we wanna graduate like into being a small emo band, if you know what I mean\'.[6]

    On 14 April 2019, Healy also shared a promotional image on Twitter teasing artwork for the album.[7] Three days later, Healy retweeted a video of him performing an unreleased song titled \'Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America\', and adding the caption \'Notes\'.[8]

    On 23 July 2019, as with all other eras, all social media pages associated with the band became deactivated. The next day, all band accounts were reactivated and the first song on the album, \'The 1975\', was released, featuring a monologue from climate change activist Greta Thunberg. A countdown then began counting down to the release of the lead single, \'People\', which was released on 22 August 2019. The album was subsequently announced for release on 21 February 2020 via an iTunes preorder. It will be 22 tracks long. \'Frail State of Mind\' then followed later in the year, being released on October 24, 2019.[9]

    On 13 January 2020, the album\'s release was pushed back to 24 April 2020, and the album cover was changed, changing back to the original artwork two days later.[10][better source needed]

    Music[edit]

    In an interview with Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, Healy explained that the album would be inspired by British nighttime culture, adding that it contains references to \'the beauty of the M25 and all those lights and going to McDonald\'s and listening to garage records in a haze in a Peugeot 206.\'[11] He also told Q that the album has a style similar to English alternative hip hop music group The Streets and British electronic musicianBurial.[12] In a separate interview, he added that the record has \'one of my best lyrics ever.\'[13]

    On Beats 1, Healy confirmed that the first single will be released at midnight on 31 May 2019, and said that the band are trying to decide between three songs to lead off the next album.[14] However, they did not release any new music on 31 May nor the weekend. Later that week, Healy stated \'I will start putting music out in August but I really don’t know when the whole album will be out\'.[15]

    On 24 July 2019, the band released the first song off the album, \'The 1975\'. This introduction, unlike previous years, featured an essay from Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

    On 22 August 2019, the band released the lead single entitled \'People\'. The song was praised for Healy\'s emotion as well as the decisive rock sound \'People\' delivered. The song\'s release was accompanied by a music video directed by Warren Fu.

    On 25 October 2019, the band released the second single off the album, titled \'Frail State of Mind\'. The song premiered on Zane Lowe\'s Beats 1 Radio Show on Apple Music. A music video for the song was released on 21 November 2019.[16]

    The third single from the album, \'Me & You Together Song\', was premiered as Annie Mac\'s Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 on 16 January 2020.[17]
