" Everything Will Flow " is the third single from English rock band Suede 's fourth studio album, Head Music (1999), released on 6 September 1999 through Nude Records . It was the first single of the band not to reach the top 20 since 1995's " New Generation ". [2] It was the second and final song by the group to chart in the US, peaking at number 28 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1999. Elsewhere, the song reached number 20 in Finland and number 55 in Sweden.
Background
"Everything Will Flow" and "Leaving" were produced by Steve Osborne , "Weight of the World" was recorded by Miti Adhikari while "Crackhead" and "Seascape" were produced by Suede . The b-side "Weight of the World" on CD1 features keyboardist Neil Codling on lead vocals and the b-side "Seascape" on CD2 is an instrumental.
The video for the title song was directed by Howard Greenhalgh , and is another big budget video by the band. Though visually appealing with CGI water "flowing" throughout people, the band considers it a failure because they believe it resembles a bad television advertisement.
Reception
Critics felt the song sounded similar to previous Suede songs. The List felt the song was "nothing more than ' Stay Together ' with more violins." [3] Select felt it was a "slightly blander take on ' Saturday Night ' with Brett's vocal mannerisms pushing him ever closer to Anthony Newley ." [4] Music Week called it "the shadier cousin of ' She's in Fashion ', with a similar synthesized string refrain and distinctive lyrical Brett-isms." [5]
