Sydney urban act The Strides have joined forces with up and coming soul superstar Ngaiire for their brand new single “One for One”.
The track showcases how easily this band blends classic reggae with contemporary hip hop. I love the way the big brassy horns and infectious base line marry with Ngaiire’s honey-rich voice.
“One for One” gives us our first taste of The Strides’ third album, which is scheduled to hit stores early next year. Fans can get a taste of what’s to come when the band launches the single at the following shows.
