Katchafire returns with Circle Back, their first new track since the pandemic put a stop to their international touring plans. The latest release features the band’s world renowned style and joyous energy, a track that encapsulates summer lovin’ and good vibes with the core message; love always wins. Katchafire drummer Jordan Bell is at the helm of Circle Back. Jordan is no stranger to stepping out from behind the kit and up to the mic with Katchafire – his past credits also include Sweet As, One Stop Shop, Down with You, Love Today, Wasted in Love, One More Day, and Walk with Me. As JB says, ‘It’s been a while! The brothers of the Fire can’t wait to get out on the road again and play this new tune Circle Back, and some old favourites of course!’.
Circle Back is first single from Katchafire since their landmark 2018 album Legacy, which hit No.1 on the US iTunes Reggae Chart and spent several weeks in the Top 5 of USA’s NACC World Charts & the Roots Music Report World Charts. Legacy was the band’s 5th studio album and saw them nominated for Best Roots Artist & Best Maori Artist at the New Zealand Music Awards and Group of The Year at the Island Music Awards in Hawaii, helping the band become the No.3 most streamed New Zealand artist on Spotify globally.
Circle Back is a rapturous celebration of the unstoppable power of music and the exhilarating spirit of Katchafire’s unparalleled, universal appeal. Circle Back is at radio today and available to download now.
