Hybrid - We Are Fearless

OUT NOW
BUY: fanlink.to/Hybrid-LOTF
Light of the Fearless, Hybrid's fifth artist album, brings together UK-based, Mike and Charlotte's passion for combining emotionally powered cinematic pieces with astute, intricate and intelligent electronic production. This long-awaited work is firmly based on the foundation of the principles and standards set by previous albums but here there's a clear development and evolution. Never wanting to write the same album twice, Mike and Charlotte have taken another step forward and have created a cinematic, electronic album with songs that stylistically borrow from their childhood soundtracks of soul, funk & hip-hop.
With songs have been inspired by not only events in their own lives but also by movements such as the Heads Together campaign, March for Our Lives 2018 and the Women's March of 2017. The album provides a positive and confident stance on moving forward through adversity and regaining empowerment. This is "The Light Of The Fearless". This inspiration certainly hasn't led to an album encumbered by political statements, but instead gives all the summery buoyancy you'd want to hear at your next festival.
Since their last album in 2010 the band have not only expanded their ever growing body of film score work (Fast and Furious 8, Interlude In Prague, Hercules, Dead in Tombstone, Take Down, Luther, X-men, Deja Vu ) but also saw the departure of band member, Chris Healings in 2015. The cinematic ethos is deep throughout the album with The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra performing on eight tracks. Unsurprisingly, the album as a whole works almost as a kind of score, and it's intriguing to be guided through the plot from the outset in the album's first track "We Are Fearless" through to the final track on the album. The expansive and unique cover of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down". Hybrid certainly haven't lost their flair for combining cinematic soundscapes, electronics and breakbeats.

This song is so powerful. It makes me feel like I could face anything in my life and always come out on top.

[@rasundesilva6088]

Oh shit!! Hybrid is back!

[@rjmusicltd]

I can remember hearing hybrid for the first time. Brought future music magazine in the 90s. It came with a free CD, skipped thru the tracks untill a piece of music exploded out of my small hifi speakers. The production, composition, mixing and mastering was next level. I always knew truman was too dangerous for the dance scene. Great to hear he is composing and producing for film as well. Wish Truman the best of luck for the future, so many years of hard work has given the world great epic music. Have a listen to 'Won't back down'

[@me0262]

What FMCD was this? I might have it still if it's old enough!

[@rjmusicltd]

@@me0262 it was late 90s. I still have the CD and magazine somewhere. I will find it and let you know.

[@me0262]

@@rjmusicltd Thanks! Think I have the ones from 2 to 34, they're not on my at the moment though.

Ditto Bro! I believe the track was Finished Symphony, and I believe the year was 1999.

Hybrid makes fantastic music

[@Nedmar]

Indeed, we are fearless.

[@Sebtt]

A beautiful combination of the Hybrid's old and the new style. My fav on the album along with I Won't Back Down. The chorus is hypnotizing, like sung by a mermaid to encourage sailors during the storm to not give up. I wonder if "Can you here me" in chorus intended to be some kind of an "easter egg" of the song of the same title made 10 years ago.

I absolutely love this. Thanks for coming back.

this should be on the radio 👍👍 such a nice sound

[@nicholassacco9077]

Hybrid was ahead of his time in the 90's. His symphony track still sends chills down my spine.

[@slayerd357]

Yeah it's a shame they never got the exposure they deserve.

I've never heard this group til now and I and a fan, I get alot of work done .they give my sculptures and paintings a whole new flow

Давно ждал новых песен, спасибо!

[@Tonitrus123]

Espero que façam mais músicas como essas

[@IRedpunk]

This song pushed me and encouraged me to follow a course in order to go through a career change. It was hard and took time, but I did it and got a foot in the field. Couldn't be happier, old and new Hybrid are both great.

I've listened to this 3 times in 7 hrs

As i listen to this track it feels like it's counting down to something. I don't quite know what it is but you get the feeling it's something quite grand for the coming. I like this one. it's a catchy ring and beat...

And yes... I can hear you...even from "miles and miles away"...

[@danielbrown1724]

They’re not as popular anymore, quite sad actually. They weren’t on my radar and I literally just found out Chris left 3 years ago. I also had no idea this was a husband/wife duo. Only reason I decided to look them up is I had a dream about Hybrid. Seems like most of their revenue comes from movies and video games now. Not quite sure what to make of this. I mean, is Richard Ford still the main bloke @ Distinctive? Did Chris leave because he felt like the odd man out now that these 2 were together? I had no idea these 2 were even involved let alone married. So many questions 😐

[@alext9123]

Regardless of whatever has been happening behind closed doors... this album is right up there with their strongest. The music production is utterly incredible

[@KarolinaTokarska1010]

This is my favourite song every, when I make movie, I want it in my film, I will pay any price for it

[@user-py4yn4fx5o]

Charlotte

[@jimsmith3971]

Charlotte and Mike should feel really content with the sounds they're now making. Listeners were never privy to the internal politics of success, control, love etc that were probably responsible for the split with Chris. Hybrid will never be the Hybrid of Wide Angle, Morning Sci fi etc, but their current form is great and I'm sure they will be confident enough to evolve musically with their next album.

[@TheXtdesign]

Hell, Wellcome in my world

[@christiansalg1005]

BUT BUT WHAT?!

[@DarkShroom]

great to hear them again but they don't sound like they evolved much

[@jbrand4989]

You good?

[@sebd6307]

I'm a big fan of Hybrid. First seen them at innercity Amsterdam in 1999. I'm just not sure about the singing, seems every song sounds the same since the album dissapear here, Charlotte does not sounds dynamic and often very dull (does not seem to fit the music well). Hybrid needs more powerfull vocals. Music still good, but Chris Healings surely would have brought some additional qualities to the table.

[@invisibleoc]

Not feeling it, heavy-handed diva vocals on every track on the album. I'm really missing the epic soaring instrumentals, it sounds kinda generic. Never thought I'd skip a Hybrid album. Missing Chris :(

[@GoldenShip24]

Hybrid died the moment Charlotte invaded the scene.
