Cymande’s new album, Renascence, revives their classic sound with a modern twist
Wellington: Cymande has released a new album called Renascence. It’s a great follow-up to their 1974 album, Promised Heights. This album brings a fresh, modern edge to their classic sound. Their music has influenced early hip-hop and funk in the US and UK.
Renascence tells the story of a band that didn’t get enough recognition before. They’re back now, staying true to their roots. The album is politically aware and spiritually uplifting. The tracks released so far show they haven’t lost their touch.
Their unique mix of funk, soul, reggae, and jazz sounds just as amazing as ever. If you loved their old stuff, you’ll enjoy this new album. It’s a true gem in their discography.
Also, check out Steely Dan’s album, Katy Lied. Released in 1975, it peaked at No. 13 on the US charts. The band had some issues with the sound quality at first, but they fixed it with help from engineers.
Katy Lied features Michael McDonald, known for his soulful voice. He’s a five-time Grammy winner and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020. This album is a must-listen for fans of classic rock.
