ALT BLK ERA have unleashed anthemic single ‘Come On Outside’, taken from their upcoming debut full-length album ‘Rave Immortal’.
With the band’s debut full-length set for release on January 24 via Earache Records, it follows on from the wickedly fun ‘My Drummer’s Girlfriend’.
An emotive rock song, ‘Come On Outisde’ focuses on the care, love and support that Nyrobi Beckett-Messam has received from her younger sister Chaya whilst battling through the emotional and chronic physical pain of her hidden disability.
On the track, Nyrobi has shared:
“We want ‘Come On Outside’ to be a source of comfort and strength for anyone who feels hurt, lost or alone. We want our listeners to feel that they have a sister in us, who is offering them the exact same warmth, love and gentle encouragement that I got from Chaya, when I was at my most vulnerable.”
Take a listen to the song below.
The official music video for ‘Come On Outside’ is also set to arrive later today (October 02) at 6pm (GMT).
Watch it as soon as it drops below.
With ALT BLK ERA’s debut album arriving in early 2025, Nyrobi has shared more about the story of ‘Rave Immortal’:
“I take the listener through the shadows and share the pain of abandonment I felt, and the solace that I found in my younger sister’s unwavering support.
“This part of the album is so painful for me and at the same time it feels beautiful because it shows my sister by my side, every step of the way; through each emotion and every story. I wouldn’t have been brave enough to share this part of me without Chaya and the track ‘Come On Outside’ is a beautiful reflection of her.
“But we don’t stop there! The album then captures the defiant energy that grew within us, as I became more able. The songs show us crashing through the imposed barriers and boldly claiming spaces that we were once excluded from. As the songs transition into a dreamscape, they delve into the exploration of relationships; the clash of personalities when fitting into a new friendship group and the dangerous mind of an infatuated person who is scarred by illness and years of isolation.
“The rebellion then builds as we begin to host wild celebrations, fiercely defending our joy after so many years of imposed restriction. The final tracks turn the tide, transforming our pursuit of freedom into an exhilarating hunt, where those who once stifled our spirit are drawn into our eternal dance of liberation, freeing them from all worldly constraints.”
To celebrate release of ‘Rave Immortal’ the sister duo have also announced two release shows taking place in Nottingham and Kingston.
