new music: dam-funk is back! the modern-funk vocalist returns with new single, ‘we continue’

Dam-Funk is back! The LA modern-funk musician and singer has returned with a new album, ‘Invite the Light’, and has now shared the lead single from the project – ‘We Continue. Check it out below (plus upcoming tour dates). In regards to the album, his camp tells us: “‘Invite the Light’ isn’t just Dam’s first solo full-length since ’09, he thinks of it as his first fully-realized effort – a “concise, beginning-to-end vision” – that’s resulted in a loosely autobiographical concept album inspired by the trials and tribulations of his personal and professional life of the last six years.” The album includes features from rapper Q-Tip, Ariel Pink, 7 Days of Funk collaborator Snoop Dogg, the father-son duo of Leon Sylvers III & IV, and funk legend Junie Morrison of the Ohio Players.
