Rudimental's New Album 'We The Generation' Preview: 13 Things To Expect
As the boys prepare to return with a hit-filled new record, their second after 2013's 'Home', we take a look at exactly what Rudimental have in store for us with their return.
-
1. Rudimental FINALLY return with their new album ‘We The Generation’ this September
The boys drop their second studio album ‘Home’ on 18th September this Autumn, and after the success of their critically acclaimed debut ‘Home’, anticipation is HOT for what they’ve got in store.
-
2. First up… the boys SMASHED their reworking of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Bloodstream’
They started off BIG by announcing news of a new record by teaming up with good pal Ed to add an extra something to his recent single. If this is a sign of things to come, it’s looking damned good. Picture: PA
-
3. ‘Never Let You Go’ arrived in June… and fans went CRAZY for it!
After ‘Feel The Love’, fans couldn’t wait to see what the next BIG tune would be from these boys. And ‘Never Let You Go’ with Foy Vance did NOT disappoint.
-
4. The boys are working with some brand new artists… like critical darling Lianne La Havas!
The English soul singer features on the album track ‘Needn’t Speak’, and with her incredible voice, you just know this’ll be an emotional anthem. Picture: PA
-
5. As with their last record, Rudimental have some AMAZING names on board… like MNEK!
They’re clearly good mates with this amazing new talent, the voice behind Gorgon City’s ‘Ready For Your Love’. MNEK features on the album track ‘Common Emotion’. Picture: Instagram
-
6. The tracklist might be out… but we have our fingers crossed for a Disclosure remix!
These two acts rose to fame at the same time and have a fast friendship. Bonus track, anyone?
-
7. The boys worked on the album from their tour bus... so get ready for tales from the road!
“We found out you can get a studio that has a drum kit, mic room, vocal booth and beds to sleep on,” Dj Locksmith revealed to SPIN, when discussing their road studio. We're intrigued!
-
8. 'Rumour Mill' is the next big tune from the record... and the music video pretty much blew us away!
Rudimental have always made amazing videos, but this was next level... check it out in the link below:

9. We SO want the boys to throw in a shout out to their fave... a cheeky Nandos!

10. The guys have said they REALLY want a Lauryn Hill team-up, could this be a surprise?
“Lauryn Hil is the female vocalist we all desperately want to work with. We want to bring back the Fugees. If she reads this or listens to this, I hope we get to work with you," they told Spin.

11. Ella Eyre is BACK! Yes, they've nabbed her for another future hit...
Ella features on the track ‘Too Cool’, and we have a feeling it’ll live up to its name!
-
12. She’s not on the tracklist, but for a repackaged record we TOTES need an Emeli/Rudimental team-up!
They were SO good together last time... and Emeli's due a comeback.
-
13. FINALLY… John Newman’s another artist we want as a surprise vocalist!
Because when the ‘Feel The Love’ star sings on Rudimental’s breakthrough hit, we pretty much lose control.
