Boston FUNK pundits Lettuce release NEW single

In a whirlwind of electric piano and unison horn lines, modern funk masters Lettuce are back with ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’, the second single to be lifted from their upcoming new album, ‘Unify’. This uplifting funk freight train of a track is Lettuce keyboardist Nigel Hall’s reinterpretation of a classic Clark Sisters tune that was written in similarly uncertain times. Hall states that “I was inspired by the Clark Sisters, and it was written in a time when we all needed to be reminded that everything was going to be okay. It really spoke to me, and all of us, given what we’ve all been going through.” Lettuce drummer Adam Deitch adds that “Nigel’s contributions to Lettuce have been so important to our growth musically and as a family. He chose to remake this tune and completely crushed the arrangement!”

Surely the funkiest band around, the Boston, US-based sextet will release ‘Unify’ on 3rd June. Their eighth studio record in total, it is the third in a row to be made at Colorado Sound Studios in Denver and completes a loose trilogy that began with 2019’s GRAMMY-nominated ‘Elevate’, and continued with 2020’s ‘Resonate’.

Fans can still expect plenty of the ultra-funky, soulful and largely instrumental tracks that Lettuce have always been known for, but in the tightest form they have ever taken. This time around, they have also received the stamp of approval from one of the genre’s legendary icons, Bootsy Collins, who can be heard singing on the song ‘Keep That Funk Alive’. An introductory single from the album entitled ’Gravy Train’ was released in March that highlighted the group’s tightly evolved rhythm section, pin-point accurate horns and guitar-bass interplay not executed this well since The Meters half a century ago.

Approaching three decades since their humble beginnings, Lettuce essentially lived on the road until being forced off it in 2020, embodying the sly wink of their moniker: Let us play! They start touring the US again from today (20th April).
