Global, platinum-selling Rudimental, have returned with details of their brand new single “Sun Comes Up” feat. James Arthur. Released via Major Toms/Atlantic Records, the track is available now on all digital platforms.
Rudimental say:
“We’re so excited to announce our new single Sun Comes Up, a song we wrote about overcoming adversity.
We spent a long time looking for the right singer for it, and were close to giving up until we met James Arthur, he sang it and we were blown away.
We aren’t afraid of taking new directions, and our new material has stepped up to another level. We’ve travelled the world far and wide and finally we feel like we’ve returned home on this album.
We can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
Taken from the bands forthcoming third album, which is currently in the works, the release marks the first musical output from the multi-award winning group in 18 months. The track will be released via Major Toms/Atlantic Records [Major Toms being the bands own subsidiary label to which they signed and developed platinum-selling artist, Anne-Marie to in 2014.] “Sun Comes Up” is a touching glimpse into how they’ve grown, both as individuals and as a band, and the various struggles they have been through to overcome adversity to get where they are today.
