Grammy-nominated reggae/rock band Rebelution have released their 6th studio album Free Rein (87 Music/Easy Star Records).
PRESS HERE to purchase & HERE to stream. The 12 tracks on the LP fuse Rebelution’s classic reggae sound with genres spanning R&B, rock, jazz and folk; this is Rebelution’s most diverse album to date. The collection of songs shines a spotlight on the band’s evocative songwriting, incendiary playing and timely lyrical commentary. The bold move from the powerhouse band proves their artistry and experimental prowess, though their signature laidback Summery reggae sound still shines through (thanks in part to collaborations with acclaimed Jamaican producers Don Corleon [Rihanna, Sean Paul] and Winta James [Damian Marley, Chronixx]). Full track listing can be found below.
Hot on the heels of a supercharged headline set at last weekend’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, the band will now embark on the Free Rein Summer Tour. The series of dates kicks off next week (June 22) with special guests Stephen Marley, Common Kings, Zion I and DJ Mackle. Ticket information is available HERE and full tour routing can be found below.The band is also slated for an intimate performance and conversation at The GRAMMY Museum next week (June 19). The evening will take place at the Clive Davis Theater and is hosted by Executive Director Scott Goldman. Tickets are SOLD OUT.
Rebelution (singer/guitarist/lyricist Eric Rachmany, keyboardist Rory Carey, drummerWesley Finley, and bassist Marley D. Williams) formed in Isla Vista in 2004. After their debut album Courage to Grow reached #4 on the Billboard Reggae Chart, there was no stopping them. Their 2012 release, Peace of Mind, debuted at #13 on the Billboard Top 200, hit #1 on both the Reggae and Independent Charts, and was the #4 iTunes album overall.2014’s Count Me In continued the momentum, entering the Reggae Chart at #1 and the Billboard Overall Chart at #14. Then came the Grammy-nominated album Falling Into Place and the Rebelution concert experience, Live At Red Rocks. The band boasts an impressive 100 million+ spins on their Top 5 Spotify tracks alone, and will continue playing sold-out shows and taking coveted headlining slots at some of the nation’s top festivals this season.
