“Rainbow” – Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters

Speaking recently about the album, Plant said:

It’s really a celebratory record – powerful, gritty, African, Trance meets Zep. The whole impetus of my life as a singer has to be driven by a good brotherhood. I am very lucky to work with The Sensational Space Shifters. They come from exciting areas of contemporary music.

I have been around awhile and I ask myself, do I have anything to say? Is there a song still inside me? In my heart?

I see life and what’s happening to me. Along the trail, there are expectations, disappointments, happiness, questions and strong relationships, and now I’m able to express my feelings through melody, power and trance; together in a kaleidescope of sound, colour, and friendship.

“Lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar” was recorded at Helium Studios, Wiltshire; Real World Studios, near Bath; and the Contino Rooms, London. Plant discusses the inspiration for the new material in this promo for the album:
