20 years ago I released “One Day I Went to Lidl” and somehow it went on to reach millions of people around the world.

Over the years, so many of you have asked for a part 2, a remix, or a new version.

I’ve written countless ideas, but none of them ever felt right.

Lately I’ve been back in the studio revisiting the song, and for the first time it feels like I’ve found a version that connects with where I am now.

Here’s a little preview.

20 years later... the security guard is still on tings 😤 😅. 🛒
