In the past few months X Ambassadors have not only been putting the finishing touches on ‘ORION’, working closely with producer Ricky Reed, but have branched out and written and produced for others. The band co-wrote and produced three songs on Lizzo\u2019s new album including the title track ‘Cuz I Love You’ and lead singer\/songwriter Sam Harris has written and produced eight songs for the upcoming ‘For The Throne – Music Inspired By The HBO Series Game Of Thrones’ soundtrack that will be released on April 26th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

X Ambassadors will be heading back to the UK during their world tour, playing at London\u2019s Scala next week on Monday the 29th<\/sup>\u00a0April.<\/strong><\/p>\n

X Ambassadors’ debut platinum selling album ‘VHS’ saw the band transition from Ithaca alt-rockers and Brooklyn indie scene outsiders, to Billboard stalwarts. The album was an intimate insight into Sam Harris and his brother Casey Harris\u2019 youth, studded with audio snippets from home movies, and early recording sessions and sound checks. With it, came the genre-defining hits ‘Unsteady’ and ‘Renegades’, a three-year global touring odyssey and a string of high-profile festival performances.\u00a0 Harris\u2019 songwriting became increasingly personal resulting in the shattering, shimmering 2018 singles ‘JOYFUL’ and ‘Don\u2019t Stay’, followed by a North American headline tour. Always looking to give back to the community that raised them, X Ambassadors returned to Ithaca for the second annual Cayuga Sound Festival this past September creating\u00a0and curating two days of musical performances\u00a0and raising money for local charities.\u00a0 In 2019 X Ambassadors released ‘BOOM’, a quick-fire anthem for emphatic recovery and personal revolutions. The artwork for ‘BOOM’ is written in Braille, and designed in a yellow-on-black colorway. For Casey Harris, the band\u2019s keyboardist and Sam Harris\u2019 brother, who was born blind, it is the first physical manifestation of his work that he has been able to experience visually. He has just 10% of his vision.<\/p>\n
