Grammy-winning Irish-American rapper, singer & songwriter Everlast has announced that Embers to Ashes, his first album in eight years, will be released on August 28 on his own Martyr Inc Records, in partnership with Thirty Tigers and Regime Music Group.
Produced by Yelawolf, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, and with cover art by award-winning Tristan Eaton, the Americana and bluesy roots-rock album tells tales of glory grasped and lost, the sudden swerves that change a life's trajectory, and hard-earned wisdom and warnings.
Everlast also released the album's second single, "My Hollywood," a lighter hearted take on the ups and downs of success in the entertainment world, following the first single and music video for "Stones."
There are two mantras Everlast keeps close: whatever's happening is inevitable, and this too shall pass. The philosophy comes into focus on Embers to Ashes, shaped by a decade that saw his Los Angeles home burn down in the 2018 Woolsey fire, the pandemic, a divorce and more.
In Everlast's own words, "the album is a collection of songs that revolve around my last decade, not necessarily autobiographical but 'inspired by' the chaos , losses and a few wins."
Everlast will announce more tour dates this year and perform at Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City, Maryland, on September 25.
