At first listen, his latest single, “I Stand Alone,” seems heavily influenced by the dance-y rock of The Police. But that’s not the only thing that’s infused into the song’s triumphant vibe. It also possesses a hint of patriotism, brought on by a trip to Stockholm, where the rapper spent each night watching movies.
“I watched Gaspar Noé’s I Stand Alone and it took me three nights to watch it,” London said in an e-mail to Wired.com. “Every night I would watch 30 minutes of it. It was brave, it was searing, very hard but exciting to watch. The next day in the studio I started writing the record. I felt like I had to rep U.S.A. Being a being and standing alone in this world. ‘I Stand Alone’ is my favorite record on this album.”
