OUT NOW

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.

One of the best covers in human history.

You know, I never thought in a million years that this song needed to be remixed.

You guys have absolutely knocked this one out of the universe. The implementation of your orchestral pieces truly bring this song to life. Your ability to also merge those orchestral pieces with heavy beats is unparalleled. As I knew I was nearing the end of the album, I was truly hoping it hadn’t “peaked” yet. I glanced at all the song titles before I started playing and I didn’t even give “I won’t back down” a second thought that it was Tom Petty.

Phenomenal guys! Truly amazing!

This is by far and away the best rendition of a Tom Petty song I've ever heard. The lyrics are the only remnant left over from the original, and even they've been ascended to a level of passion and emotion that I didn't think was even achievable. This is Hybrid, true to form.

This is truly wonderful cover. Never thought that a rock song epitome such as I won't back down could be re-imagined so completely.

I first discovered Hybrid in 1998 and have been hooked on them since. Album after album, they show just how talented they are. Their form might change slightly each time, but the blending of musical styles is at the core of what makes Hybrid nothing short of awe inspiring. This cover proves that.

I recognize the LTJ Bukem Sample from WaterColors that starts the song off.
Stunning and Beautiful! Beyond anything I expected!
And a remake, a homage, a tribute....
AWESOME! Restored my faith in humanity!
