In a thrilling revelation for music fans, Mercury Prize-nominated electronic outfit Rudimental has announced the release of an extraordinary new album compiled from a treasure trove of forgotten recordings.
The project, aptly named 'Lost Tapes', pulls back the curtain on the band's most prolific era, featuring a series of completed but never-released collaborations. The most tantalising detail is the involvement of two major, yet unnamed, BRIT Award-winning superstars.
These sessions were captured during the creation of their multi-platinum debut album, 'Home', which catapulted them to international fame in 2013 with anthems like 'Waiting All Night' and 'Feel the Love'.
A Blast from the Past
The band discovered the tracks after a deep dive into their archives, unearthing a collection of music they had simply forgotten they had recorded. The album promises to be a direct time capsule to the sound and energy that defined a generation of UK dance music.
In a statement, the group expressed their excitement, saying: "We recently found a hard drive with so much music from the 'Home' era that we'd completely forgotten about... It's crazy to listen back now. The energy and vibe in the studio at that time was so special."
Anticipation Builds for a First Listen
While the group is keeping the identities of the featured artists tightly under wraps, the news has sent waves of speculation across social media. Given the era and the calibre of previous collaborators like Emeli Sandé, John Newman, and Ella Eyre, the possibilities have fans eagerly awaiting the tracklist.
The first single from the 'Lost Tapes' collection is scheduled for release in the coming weeks, offering the first glimpse into this unearthed chapter of British music history.
