Soul music has always had a sense of social consciousness.
It's there in the work of Sam Cooke, it's there in the defiance of Marvin Gaye's classic album 'What's Going On', and it's still there in new artists.
Stone Foundation have always been aware of this heritage, with the group continually attempting to discuss the world around them.
New album 'Street Rituals' was overseen by Paul Weller, a producer and a confidante for the band's ambitions.
Out on March 31st, the record is preceded by fantastic new single 'Season Of Change'.
Exploring the huge shifts in world politics right now, Stone Foundation aim to close the gaps with the inspiring sound of soul – they've even taken R&B great Bettye LaVette along for the ride.
Clash is able to share the full video, and it's a real inspiration. Tune in now.
