Over ten years after their first hit, The Kooks can look back upon a successful career. And that’s exactly what they do with their retrospective The Best Of… So Far, that’s released on 19 May. The collection contains all of their hits (Naïve: check; She Moves In Her Own Way: check; Ooh La: check’; Around Town… hmmm, sadly missing…) plus two new songs: Broken Vow and Be Who You Are.

The latter is the Brighton foursome’s new single. An instantly recognisable (and likeable) The Kooks track with a catchy ‘Ta-ta-ta-ta-tadadada’ chorus. Made for radio.
