Rudimental announce new album 'Toast To Our Differences'
Following the release of their world-dominating single ‘These Days’ feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplen in February, BRIT-Award winning collective, Rudimental have announced the release date of their eagerly awaited third album TOAST TO OUR DIFFERENCES.
The new album is set for release on September 7 and includes previous singles ‘Sun Comes Up’ feat. James Arthur and ‘These Days’ as well as title track ‘Toast To Our Differences’ which features Protoje, Hak Baker & Shungudzo. The official video for the title track drops later today and depicts a journey right across London and the echoes of its past – a toast to the unsung heroes and movements that continue to shape the city.
TOAST TO OUR DIFFERENCES follows 2015’s critically-acclaimed album, WE THE GENERATION, and forms a natural extension of their upbeat, euphoric sound aesthetic. Written as an emphatic celebration of difference and a coming together of cultures and genres, the record defines a progressive Rudimental – the genre-defying collective that continue to change the face of dance music.
Throughout their career, Rudimental have become renowned for discovering and nurturing the hottest new up-and-coming talent, none more so than new-school pop sensation, Anne-Marie. She first featured on 2015 Rudimental single, ‘Rumour Mill’, and went on to release her debut solo album, SPEAK YOUR MIND, in April, entering the UK Album Chart at #3. TOAST TO OUR DIFFERENCES continues this theme of apace. The new album sees them champion incredible emerging vocalists such as Maleek Berry and RAYE on ‘1x1’, the remarkable Kojey Radical and Kabaka Pyramid on ‘No Pain’ and rising singer-songwriter Dan Caplenon recent smash, ‘These Days’. In addition, ‘Let Me Live’ features vocals from Ladysmith Black Mambazo, an incomparable x5 time Grammy-winning South African male choral group, and hotly-tipped soul songstress, Yebba, who has been heavily co-signed by global stars like Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.
