The Rebirth

Kajmere Sound proudly releases the full-length album, This Journey In,
from L.A.-based septet, The Rebirth in national and international territories
this summer 2005.

In this compelling new 11-track album recorded in the band’s
hometown, The Rebirth matches its musical vitality with a gift for lucid poetry
and songwriting, creating a rich sound built on an organic blend of new and
traditional soul, hip-hop, jazz, and funk. These elements make the group’s
music both highly progressive and a throwback to the classic soul bands like:
Earth, Wind & Fire, Ramp, Pleasure, Rotary Connection, Side Effect and
Roy Ayers.

Over the last few years, The Rebirth has celebrated the successes
of several smashing singles: “This Journey In,” “Every Body Say Yeah,”
“Got Your Madness,” and their critically acclaimed cover of The Might Ryders’
“Evil Vibrations.” The release of “This Journey In” quickly garnered airplay on
radio stations from Los Angeles to the U.K. and Japan, and appeared on
numerous CD’s including: King Britt’s Black to the Future,
Gilles Peterson’s Trust the DJ 9 and the Norman Jay MBE compilation
entitled Giant 45. In addition, Gilles Peterson included the song on his list of
“20 Best in 2003” and Norman Jay called it, “The anthem of the summer 2003.”
Poignant tracks that appear on This Journey In include “Shake It,” a catchy
mid-tempo jam that encourages one to feel uninhibited about getting out to the
dance floor to simply let loose and enjoy the moment; the smooth dance song,
with a funky base line, “Stray Away”; “Common Ends,” an uplifting track that
talks about the experiences in life that unifies people; and the funky,
disco-Brazilianinspired song, “Talking Me Down,” plus many other stellar
compositions.

The most recent release, “Evil Vibrations,” was recorded exclusively for
Ubiquity Records to appear on its innovative compilation, Rewind! 4.
The result was a high-energy, textured sound in the original retro style that
included some new lyrics, mixed with De La Soul’s version of the classic track.
Nominated for “Song of the Year” at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards and
concluding in 2004 at #6 on his playlist, “Evil Vibrations,” continues to gain
accolades for the group as one of the US’ most promising neo-soul collectives.
