Pulp has released a new disco-infused single called “Got to Have Love” from their upcoming album ‘More,’ set to drop in two weeks. The track showcases Jarvis Cocker’s eclectic style and the band’s vibrant disco era sound. Cocker shared his thoughts on the song, saying, “Love is a word I was unable to say until I was approaching 40.
I listened to love songs all the time but couldn’t use the word in real life. The words to this song are me having a word with myself about this state of affairs. I gave myself a real talking-to.
I have now learnt how to say it whilst keeping a straight face. You’ve got to have love.

Oh yes you have.”
The music video for “Got to Have Love,” directed by Cocker himself, features iconic footage from the legendary ’70s Northern Soul club, the Wigan Casino. Cocker humorously challenges viewers, “Wouldn’t you like to be able to dance like this? Guess what?
You can.”
To support their new release, Pulp has announced a series of global listening parties, predominantly taking place at record stores starting May 29. Details for the US events are pending an announcement on May 27. Today also marks the 30th anniversary of Pulp’s iconic song “Common People.” Fans can reminisce by watching the music video for the hit track.
