Take It Away

First single from the forthcoming album, L.A.B VI

As the band geared up for their first European taster tour, they won the Best Single at the RollingStone Awards for ‘Take It Away’, the first single from their upcoming album, L.A.B VI.

The Rolling Stone Music Awards are voted on by ALL global Rolling Stone editors and select music writers.

Casanova

Second single from the forthcoming album, L.A.B VI

L.A.B brings their unique soul, funk, and reggae-inspired sound to this version of LeVert's late '80s classic, incorporating their trademark harmonies and soulful vibe that have gained a growing worldwide audience with each release. 'Casanova' is a feel-good song and is another tease of the band's highly anticipated album. L.A.B VI.
