The band’s new Best Of album features two new songs alongside their biggest hits of their career, one of which – You Are Entering The Human Heart – is out now.
The group was also the subject of a new documentary titled Falling into pieces. Directed by Ben Lowe, the film tells the “untold story” of the group that formed in London in 2002. Its name was inspired by the title of Razorlight’s 2006 single “Before I Fall To Pieces”.
Speaking about his decision to reconcile after 11 years in the film’s trailer, Burrows said: “If I don’t do it, I think I’ll be thinking about it for the rest of my life. I don’t know… The last Johnny I knew was Johnny [in] 2009. It struck me today as a powerful surrealism – I don’t know what to expect.”
Under review Falling into pieces, NME wrote: “Borrell and Burroughs’ love-hate relationship is at the heart of the film. In many ways, it’s not unlike the sad tone of Matt and Luke Goss’s 2019 documentary Bros. After the screaming stopped and at times he is almost boring and David Brent-like.
“However, when Borrell and Burroughs finally meet again after not speaking for 11 years, it’s a very touching moment. Each confesses past insecurities and finally clears the air.
