“Out Of Love” Single Art // DOWNLOAD HIGH-RES
Today, Canadian-American 8-piece collective, Busty and the Bass, releases “Out of Love”, featuring R&B and soul legend Macy Gray, with a psychedelic animated video to accompany the single. The saccharine lyrics outline the raw end of a relationship, in which Gray’s vocals shine alongside the ensemble. The collaboration was years in the making as the octet rose to international acclaim for their 2016 cover of Gray’s hit “I Try”. “Out of Love” follows the recent release of “Baggy Eyed Dope Man (ft George Clinton)”, “Kids”, “Clouds”, and “Summer” all of which will be included on the band’s forthcoming album out this year. Details to come.

Alistair Blu [vocals, keys, synths], Scott Bevins [trumpet], Chris Vincent [trombone], Louis Stein [guitar], Milo Johnson [bass], Eric Haynes [keys, piano], and Julian Trivers [drums] met during their first week as students in the jazz program at McGill University back in 2011. They went on to drop a pair of EPs—GLAM [2015] and LIFT [2016]—before unveiling 2017’s full-length debut, Uncommon Good and in the time since have amassed over 25 millions streams worldwide. In addition to packing houses on headline tours, including recent sold out shows at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom and LA’s Troubadour, they graced the stages of international festivals such as Made in America, Osheaga, Pinkpop, Montreal International Jazz Festival, The Great Escape, Ottawa Bluesfest, and Rifflandia, playing alongside the likes of Radiohead, Anderson .Paak, and Lana Del Rey.
