Label: BMG Released 1/31/2025 Legendary British band Cymande return in 2025 with their first studio album in many years. A true return to form and jewel in the crown of their iconi c discography, Renascence picks up where their 1974 album Promised Heights left off — a spiritual and sonic follow-up, bringing a fresh modern edge to their iconic sound, which remains foundational to early hip-hop and funk scenes in the US and UK. Renascence tells the story of a band that never fully got its due back in the day; but are back to take the crown by remaining true to themselves — politically aware and spiritually positive with infectious grooves. Featuring the lead single, "Chasing an Empty Dream," beckoning you back into the world of Cymande with an unforgettable grizzly bassline hook — as is their way — addictive percussion, global rhythms (inspired by their diasporic origins), layered horns and a powerful message for the world.
