Brand new single from INTERCONTINEN7AL

INTERCONTINEN7AL is a project formed with a truly astonishing premise; to bring together musicians from all seven continents to create a collaborative musical endeavour. Formed by over thirty musicians across fifteen countries from all seven continents, including contributors stationed as far as Antarctica, this groundbreaking collective has forged an imaginative concept with exceptional execution. Ultimately, INTERCONTINEN7AL has turned geographical distance it into inspiration, creative songs that bring together cultures, genres and regions into something thoroughly impressive.

Since starting out in 2020, the group has become a fascinating study in musical diversity and human connection. Arriving with their self-titled debut album Intercontinen7al, they quickly proved that collaboration doesn’t need to happen in the same room, or even on the same continent. By emplying the tools of digital communication and shared creativity, they’ve built a sound that’s constantly developing, fluidly blending styles from every corner of the globe.

Across their expansive catalogue, INTERCONTINEN7AL’s releases present a new journey through sound, drawing threads from rock, pop, blues, jazz, Latin, funk, metal, classical, reggae and folk, often within the same record. Their work captures the energy of a jam session stretched across time zones, a colourful amalgamation of influence and emotion stitched together by mutual respect and curiosity. Over the past few years, the collective has maintained a near-unprecedented level of productivity, releasing multiple full-length records that have secured a devoted international following.

Now, the project approaches its final chapter with their last record Volume 7, set for release on December 30th, marking the end of their journey and serving as a farewell to an era of ambitious, borderless creativity. Ahead of the album, INTERCONTINEN7AL has released the lead single titled “Love Is Everywhere,” the first taste of what’s to come. Recorded in Argentina, the single captures the optimism and unity that have always been evident the group. It’s a Beatles-esque indie outing, full of warm retro pop textures and delicate melodic charm.

Brought in by the bright flicker of mandolin style notes, the gentle lilting sway of intricate guitar notes and soft percussion carries the song with a subtly buoyant energy. Delicate vocal lines drift in to drape delightful melodic lines over the alluring arrangement as the steady patter of percussion maintains a smooth forward motion throughout.

Wrapped up in two and a half minutes of timeless vintage music dashed with layers of power pop backing vocals and peppered with jaunty accordion tones, “Love is Everywhere” delivers a superb musical moment that’s truly impossible not to love. With Volume 7 arriving at the end of this month, INTERCONTINEN7AL closes the book on a thoroughly visionary project that’s sure to leave a lasting impression on the wider history of international musical collaboration and we can’t wait to see what it has in store.
