Last January, Groundation made its big comeback with the announcement of a new album: One Rock. In the process, the Californian band unveiled Original Riddim featuring the legendary Israel Vibration and The Abyssinians. A strong first title, dealing with the universal history of music and its role in sparking the journey of our existence.

Today, Groundation presents Human Race, the second single from the upcoming album. On this new track charged with energy, Harrison Stafford sings about Love and calls for unification. “If love was the rule, would all this remain the same?”

The string trio and brass sections are triumphant and emotional while the overall song arrangement is extremely meticulous. The result is a unique title, imbued with jazz inspiration, the band’s hallmark for so many years.

Human Race is taken from Groundations new upcoming ONE ROCK album, set to be released May 13, 2022: http://moremusic.at/OneRockAlbum
