It was sparked by the death of George Floyd...

Chicago project *The Nūes* returns with new single 'Revolution'.

The track was informed by the energies of 2020, and the Black Lives Matter protests which swept the globe after the death of George Floyd.

There's a sense of numbed horror at work in the track, giving rise to a desperate urge for something different, something better.

Out now, it's a direct call for change, an anti-racist anthem, and it speaks eloquently about the lingering grief which extends into 2021.

He comments...

"'Revolution' is an anti-racism battle cry. Literally. I wrote it while in tears the day after George Floyd's life was taken. Lyric after lyric, with my heart so heavy for every single African-American that has had to go through this nightmare... daily. The oppression. The violence. The systemic racism that has been rampant in America for 400 years. And it was just more fuel to the fire with the recent former President that did nothing but cause divisiveness."

"So as a white male that has been on the sidelines like a vast majority of us, the least I can do is use my heart through this pen and this microphone... use them to make a stand for peace. To stand in union with all. Together, and only together, we can be the change."

Tune in now.
