The Rubens have unleashed the latest single from their forthcoming album, with “Masterpiece” serving as the newest taste of February’s 0202.
Released today, the new track serves as the fourth single from the group’s fourth album, following on from “Heavy Weather” and “Time of My Life” this year, and 2019’s “Live in Life”, which was recently announcing as the third most-played Australian song of the year on Spotify.
“The song is about giving someone up, the doubt and eventual regret in realising you got it wrong,” The Rubens said of the song in a new statement.
The single is set to arrive on their new album, 0202, which is described as a “forward-thinking album for a backward year”. Their most assured record to date, the album effortlessly switches genres, traversing the realms of alt-rock, pop, R&B, and hip-hop as they unveil a self-produced record destined to completely change everything fans know about the group.
“We’re so bloody proud of this album and the way we created it, and we can’t believe how lucky we are to have made it this far,” the group explained in October. “Thanks to all our fans for being there, we can’t wait for you to hear this one!”
The band are currently on track to finally embark on their extensive tour of the same now in April of 2021, with details available below.
The Rubens’ “Masterpiece” is out now, while 0202 will be released on February 12th, 2021 via Ivy League Records, with pre-orders available now.
