Cymande are back: the Brits’ new studio album, which has been overdue since 2015, will be released on 31 January 2025 – a new millennium, a new chapter. It’s no coincidence that the record, named »Renascence«, is already raising high expectations. A limited Transparent Coral Vinyl Edition of just 300 copies is available exclusively from HHV Records.
A rich heritage
The heyday of the British funk band was in the 1970s. »Renascence« shows a new path without forgetting the roots. The very first single, »Chasing An Empty Dream«, with its driving basslines and grooves, makes your legs fidget impatiently – an invitation to immerse yourself in the past that once nourished the roots of hip-hop.
For those who want to delve even deeper into this topic, the recently released documentary »Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande« explores the band’s influence on the music world and shows how their footprints continue to inspire artists such as Mark Ronson, Laura Lee and DJ Maseo to take new steps today.
