Corey Glover, lead singer for Living Colour - the original "funk metal pioneers"
(Rolling Stone) - teams up with guitarist Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob - whose
evolving line-up has included Mike Portnoy and A,J. Pero) for an interstellar voyage
to discover new dimensions of sound on Sonic Universe's debut album "It Is What It
Is." Joined by Taykwuan Jackson (Sworn Enemy) on drums and bassist Booker King
(who has provided the groove for greats including Santana), the group form a new
constellation of experiences and influences that straddle galaxies and time itself.
While Living Colour has been in the spotlight as of late (touring internationally with
Extreme), Adrenaline Mob came to an end following a tragic accident on tour. The
Grammy-winning Glover united with Orlando to create something fresh and new,
but unmistakably them.
The album was produced and recorded by Mike and Corey at Mike's Sonic Stomp
Studios on Staten Island, New York City. The title (and opening track) 'It Is What It Is'
launches with a pummeling drum beat, driving bass lead and rockets through some
guitar dynamics, almost Who-ish backing vocals and then straight into Corey's
unmistakable, thrilling lead vocal. This is clearly a brave new world.
First single and video "I Am" is a bold declaration of confidence and independence:
"Can't take it away/ I'm here to stay/ I am what I am. The band is on-point here,
mustering all their talent, skill, body - and soul - to back it up."
With lyrical references that touch on the personal and political, and a musical
universe that expands from punk to funk to metal to rock, "It Is What It Is" is an
album which WILL take the listener "Higher" (coincidentally the second single and
video) than the sun
