For those who may have been living under a rock.
A Tribe Called Red has now changed their name to The Halluci Nation.
With that they dropped the music video for Remember 01 featuring John Trudell & Black Bear.
The leading single is taken from their upcoming album called One More Saturday Night which comes out on July 30, 2021.
A club electro-dancing vibin’ song!
About the track:
Bear Witness shares, “He (John) was on a mission to set us on a course that continues to guide and inform our actions. Remembering our past is key to seeing our way into the future and revisiting the words John spoke about us that first night are exactly that. Like a beacon showing us that we are still on the path he sowed for us. John’s words confirm that we are still moving forward in the right direction. This is why it is so important for us to share his voice with everyone and once again, let John set the tone for our first album as The Halluci Nation.”
“Creating this song was one of the most powerful moments to ever happen to me professionally. Hearing John’s words reverberate in the room over meaningful chords felt like we were wrapping up our entire journey as a group, a sort of reflection piece. To bring it all back one more time by using an introductory speech he gave us back in 2014 when we first met, and he told us in that moment what we must do going forward,” adds 2oolman.
Trudell’s voice continues throughout the track and goes back to the Electric Pow Wow roots The Halluci Nation are known for in tandem with frequent collaborators, Black Bear (a group of Pow Wow singers from Manawan, QC) joining in to build the energy of the track. This project has been a long time in the making and the video can be compared to that of a trailer for a movie about the birth of The Halluci Nation – and in this case, acts as an introduction of what’s to come on the rest of the project.
Produced by Combo Bravo and Breathe Entertainment, the video was shot in Toronto, Ontario and follows a series of different subjects across the city spreading Trudell’s words visually, as he’s speaking. The overall piece causes a building of excitement and is something listeners/viewers can feel in their chest. It is clear there is a lot of powerful meaning behind this work.
Remember 01 gets:
/10.
