Chemistry. You either got it or you don t. When the five members of Royal Southern Brotherhood convened in February at Dockside Studios, Louisiana, there was magic in the air. Just seven days later, the acclaimed US soul-blues collective emerged triumphant with The Royal Gospel: the fifth album in their rocket-heeled rise and further proof of a lineup born to play together.
The Royal Gospel might move your feet, but it s not afraid to challenge your perceptions. The whole record is geared toward making a joyful noise, says Neville, but while we re partying, we still need to be thinking about what s going on around us. It covers what we ve seen in our travels over the last few years, and what we ve lived personally as citizens of the world. This is to an album that cements Royal Southern Brotherhood s reputation as a modern band to treasure. This is The Royal Gospel!
