After a pretty inactive 8 years, Living Colour are returning to the music scene with a new album, ‘Shade‘, and are sharing a new single to celebrate!

The band have spent the past five years perfecting this album, and have already planned a headline tour this September, ahead of the album’s release.

Bassist Doug Wimbish said “Making records is an art and a process, and sometimes it can be easier to herd cats. But, when it connects and we come together, it’s a beautiful thing. ‘Shade’ is a testimony to who Living Colour is, to our chameleon quality.”

Guitarist Vernon Reid said “To me, there seems to be a shadow cast across our collective lives. We can either allow it to oppress us or we can shine a light on it. ‘Shade’ is the sound of a band coming to terms with the shadows and shining a light by using the blues as a mirror.”

Come On is a great welcome back for the blues/ rock band with melodic riffs, raw vocals, and vibes not dissimilar to Red Hot Chili Peppers circa ‘By The Way‘.

I'm Chandni, I review albums and gigs, and in my spare time design t-shirts on Redbubble, and play guitar. My life goal is to be a music journalist, so I guess I'm living the dream. My music taste varies from indie to metal to pop-punk.
