Pablo Dylan releases new EP "Fortitude"

Modern day folk-rock musician/instrumentalist Pablo Dylan has shared his latest EP ‘Fortitude’ via Columbia Records. This marks the second release in a series of three EPs that together comment on current events, civil rights injustices in America, and the hopeful rebirth of society. ‘Fortitude’ is released alongside an official video for focus track “Ward No. 9,” which discusses the state of the prison system in America today.

‘Fortitude’ was ideated in the wake of the death of George Floyd and, as Pablo describes, written “in such vivid depictions of the human heart in conflict with its own existence I felt as I’m sure many of you did; heartbroken and dismayed at the utter barbarity that took Mr. Floyd’s life. I am a deep believer in the promises laid out in the Declaration of Independence but unfortunately for most of the population those promises were never realized. It is this discrepancy that I feel my most sacred duty as an artist is to comment on.”

Earlier this year, Pablo released ‘Solitude,’ the first of 3 EPs collectively titled Behold, Behold ‘Tis Autumn. Pablo describes the collection as his interpretation of the times: “The first one, ‘Solitude,’ is a reflection on loneliness and remembrance of previous times. The second one, ‘Fortitude,’ is my analysis of fear, strength, and revolution, and what happens when those images of the past come back to life. And the third one, ‘Renaissance,’ is about the eventual rebirth that upon collapse soon must follow.”
