In anticipation of the release of their forthcoming sixth studio album, Free Rein, Grammy-nominated reggae/rock band Rebelution recently released a new track “City Life”.
To create the track, the band enlisted acclaimed producer Winta James, made up of artists Damian Marley and Chronixx. They helped accurately capture the laid-back vibe of the song, which is about the desire for a relaxed life outside of the hustle and bustle that exists in a big city, according to a press release from Press Here Publicity.
As the fourth joint-venture with the group’s 87 Music label and NYC-based Easy Star Records, their new album will release on June 15. Soon after, their Free Rein Summer Tour will kick-off on June 22. Purchase tickets and view a list of all 30+ tour dates here.
Not only did the band team up with Winta James, but also Don Corleon, made up of artists Rihanna and Sean Paul among others, to create 12 intoxicating new tracks. The album fuses new and old sounds, while still remaining grounded in the group’s Jamaican inspiration.
“The album sees the California-based band exploring new genres more so than ever before as they fuse their classic reggae sound with R&B, rock, jazz and folk.
While still rooted in the Jamaican inspiration that Rebelution’s songs have always paid homage to, Free Rein takes experimental leaps, welcoming old fans and new audiences alike.”
Free Rein is a follow-up to the band’s 2016 album Falling Into Place, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album.
Last week, the band released the music video for their first single from the album “Celebrate.” The single quickly ascended to the top of Spotify’s US Viral 50 chart after it was released.
Prior to the full album release, Rebelution will drop a new single the last Friday of every month up until June.
Free Rein is also now available for pre-order.
