He revealed that is an Oasis song:
“I would say in my circles – if I’m hanging with my crew, my peoples – it’s Oasis’ ‘Supersonic.’
“It’s got this thing where people just start singing along and kind of forgetting about whatever is going on. It becomes this communal thing.
“So many of their songs have that spirit where it becomes this communal exercise, but ‘Supersonic’ is slightly above the rest of them.
The song
“Supersonic” is the debut single by Oasis. Written by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher, it was released on 11 April 1994 as Oasis’ debut single and later appeared on their debut album Definitely Maybe in August 1994.
The song was released on 11 April 1994 and peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart, the band’s second lowest-peaking single, after Half The World Away which peaked at 56. However, over time it has amassed sales of over 215,000, making it their 13th biggest selling single ever in the UK, even outselling their 2002 number one “The Hindu Times”, and both of their 2005 number ones, “Lyla” and “The Importance of Being Idle”.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
