Soulive drummer Alan Evans latest project, Crushed Velvet and the Velveteers, recently released a new single, "As Far As We Know," featuring D.C.-based artist Brother GoodLove. They have now shared a video for the song, which features footage captured during Black Lives Matter protests in the area.
"I originally wrote the music for 'As Far As We Know' back in May 2019 with another VLM project in mind," said Evans via press release. "I knew that I wanted to have Stephane (Brother GoodLove) singing on this song from the beginning. I didn’t realize that Stephane would turn that working title into such beautiful and powerful lyrics—I was really blown away when he sent me the first demo of the vocal and couldn’t wait to get it into full production but for whatever reason, it wasn’t the right time. But once I had the idea for the new Crushed Velvet and the Velveteers album, "As Far As You Know" being included was a no brainer.
"During quarantine, Stephane cut the vocals and I called on my Vintage League Music family of musicians to fill out the song and the rest is history," Evans continued. "Without a doubt, it's one of my favorite songs I've ever written."
