Sinkane announces forthcoming album, We Belong

We Belong marks Sinkane’s first full-length release for five years, following Dépaysé which was released in 2019, and is Sinkane’s “love letter to Black music.”

The album tells introspective, and sometimes painful, stories of the Black diaspora with an underlying current of love and hope for the future. The brand new single, "How Sweet Is Your Love", is about "remaining in the present and feeling all of your feelings as fully as possible" Gallab comments. "It dares you to prove the sweetness of your love, to your loves!”

The accompanying video by shot by Bảo Ngô, sees dancers from the Haus of Tisci ballroom collective put their moves on display at New York's Sultan Room and its neighbouring streets. Gallab comments: “One of my singers, Ifedayo, thought it would be a great idea for me to reach out to Haus of Tisci for a collab on this music video. Their spirit embodies the love and energy of this song. Radical self joy to the max! STOUT, who is featured on We Belong, is a part of these Ballroom legends so I reached out. Next thing I knew, we were shooting this video. They did a wonderful job of welcoming us all in to this song. Free your mind and your ass will follow!”

Sinkane assembled the who's who of musicians and collaborators which include Beastie Boys producer Money Mark, jazz fusion maestro Casey Benjamin, guitarist/producer Mikey Freedom Hart, Phony Ppl’s Aja Grant, percussionist Meia Noite, organist Shedrick Mitchell, former bandmate Amanda Khiri, and singers Bilal, STOUT, Tru Osborne and Hollie Cook.
