Cerrone Disco Legend Returns with: 'The Impact

Disco legend and dance music pioneer - CERRONE - has today released a brand new music video for his song 'The Impact’. The new track arrives as the first single from a forthcoming new album: ‘DNA’ to be released in 2020. Watch the Climate-themed Music Video for 'The Impact' HERE: https://youtu.be/WWhzu_m8ahQ

'The Impact' is a progressive house track which marks a return to Cerrone’s dance music roots and sets the tone for his upcoming new album. 'The Impact’ itself has a stark climate change-awareness message. The track sees Cerrone sample a speech from famous ethnologist Jane Goodall, who has worked with chimpanzees all her life and changed the way that humans interact with animals:

“Every single day we make some impact on the planet.

We haven’t inherited this planet from our parents,

We’ve borrowed it from our children.

If we get together, then we can start to heal some of the scars that we’ve inflicted”.

Cerrone has been concerned with climate change for 40 years, long before it became a prevalent issue in popular culture. His hit song ‘Supernature', considered his magnum opus, also revolves around the theme of the man-made destruction of the planet, a prescient prediction considering the exponential threat of climate change in recent decades. 'The Impact' ends on a more optimistic note than ‘Supernature', alluding to a solution to the worsening crisis of climate change: “If we get together, then we can start to heal some of the scars that we’ve inflicted”. 'The Impact' is above all a message of hope for a new generation.

Speaking about this collaboration with Jane Goodall, Cerrone says: “It has been 40 years since the release of ‘Supernature’, with brilliant lyrics by Lene Lovich. Just as I did then, I believe we need to take wise steps towards our collective future. With this in mind, I have chosen for this project to associate myself with Jane Goodall – a strong leader in environmental protection – to deliver a message of hope and responsibility for the preservation of our planet.”

Cerrone will release his new album ‘DNA’ in 2020, arriving as his first studio release since 2016’s 'Red Lips’. Handling all of the production for ‘DNA’ entirely himself, the new record marks a return to Cerrone’s roots in disco music. Speaking about the upcoming album Cerrone says:

“These past five years, I have developed a new form of performance through DJing, playing mostly my own repertoire. This has allowed me to revisit my catalogue and inspired the making of this album, an exploration of my musical DNA through my experience as a DJ.”

In recent years, Cerrone has performed exclusively as a DJ having performed as a drummer for the vast majority of his career, with the switch to DJing allowing him to play the many hits from his rich catalogue. Cerrone will be playing a handful of tour dates across North America and Europe in early 2020 to support the release of the new album - watch this space for further details.
