Are you ready for the magic that will be happening on Friday 28th August 2020? Yes, Kes the band will be releasing their very first live studio album titled ‘We Home’.
In an exciting social media post, Kes announced the release earlier this month, saying:
We finally get to release “We Home”, our first live studio album born out of a very extraordinary situation that forced all of us to stop and think about things in a different light. This period has given a lot of us the time to reconnect with our loved ones, take things slow, rest, recharge, innovate, be different…..be home ?✨
We miss the energy we get from you when we’re on stage and wanted to share the vibes we feel when we’re performing. We hope this album captures that feeling and gives us all something to look forward to when we could jam once more. We can’t wait for you to hear it!
For those of you who don’t want to wait that long, you can enjoy some of the magic, as the official first single off the live album ‘Magic’, which features Trinidadian Singer Jimmy October and Etienne Charles and is officially out and available now on all your favorite streaming platforms. (see the new live performance visual video at the top of the article).
It seems like Kes have been keeping busy during this unforeseen entertainment downtime as CEH recently learnt that the album will be released through Ineffable Music (an independent coalition of artists, managers, and promoters that curate music and live events across the world). This will also the first album by a major soca act on a US Record label in over three years. Can we agree that this deserves a special congratulations!
