RUDIMENTAL – TOAST TO OUR DIFFERENCES

For their third album, this UK collective decided to celebrate differences and the coming together of cultures and genres, with lashings of positivity. Hey, in these somewhat troubled times we’re after all the help we can get, right? Three years in the making, they invited a cavalcade of celeb guest singers to offer vocal assistance including James Arthur, Jess Glynne and Macklemore, alongside newbies like rap mistress Raye, soul queen Yebba (in demand with both Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran) and Dan Caplen on their recent hit These Days. This is the kind of album that will roll through the northern summer and into the Southern Hemisphere with the ease of (bad metaphor alert!) freckles on a ginger.
