UnityTX Unveil New Album and Single 'Somewhere, In Between…' and 'Enjoy Tha Show'
UnityTX have announced the release of their new studio album, Somewhere, In Between, on March 13th via Pure Noise Records.
The rap metalcore outfit also debuted a new single from the record today, titled 'Enjoy Tha Show.'
Frontman Jay "Shaolin G" Webster shared his thoughts on the track:
'Enjoy Tha Show' was crafted to prompt reflection on the narratives we embrace as humans, sharing our experiences to foster connection. After much contemplation, I aimed to create something that resonated with my audience and mirrored my struggles. Seeking comfort among those who don't understand the pain of feeling ethnically out of place can be daunting.
At times, the words of strangers would sting so deeply that I'd share them with others. It felt like a natural reaction, yet my friends urged me to rise above it. Ignoring it was harder than I thought, as I was expected to just perform and push through the noise. So, I shifted my approach to simply enjoying the experience.
Unknowingly, I built my life around catering to critics, only to realize that the audience often reacts negatively when you stray from their expectations. This goes beyond music; our society often limits opportunities for those daring to be themselves. It's frustrating, and I accept that it's a tragic reality. My identity is shaped by my experiences and environment, and that cannot be changed. Where do we draw the line between empathy and judgment?
Webster also expanded on the overall mindset the band brought to the record, adding:
When we got into the industry, we had to start playing by the industry rules and not so much by the rules that I had set for us. I was trying my hardest to stick to my code, but it felt like it wasn't ever going to work. This album is what UnityTX used to be before we got picked up. It's letting go of all the tension that made us feel like we couldn't do anything in this space and trying to push past that and reachnot our maximum potentialbut start to see where else this can go. We're trying to evolve both as a band and as people.
