“They’ve [LOVECOLLIDE] found the new life made possible when you truly lean into your faith, and they’re passionate about sharing the ensuing story. What makes their challenge even more compelling is the infectious pop music they use to share it all,” says CCM Magazine as JesusFreakHideout.com gives the album 4.5 stars and calls Tired of Basic “an urgent sonic punch,” “their most daring album” and a recording “that easily stands up to what is playing on mainstream secular radio.”
“These aren't just your average pop tunes - they're pop tunes with a bold purpose,” says NewReleaseToday.com as CrossRhythms.co.uk echoes that the album is “brimming over with radio friendly hooks and lyrics which are a bold statement of faith” and Today's Christian Entertainment adds that “the album is a good one to rejuvenate your faith in a unique way that isn’t just basic.”
With the new single, video and album emerging after a season filled with doubt, loss, depression and uncertainty, LOVECOLLIDE’s Tired Of Basic, produced by Riley Friesen (Family Force 5, Group 1 Crew) and Matt Dally (Superchick, Jamie Grace), is meant to be a revolution against boredom, mediocrity and status quo living.
“That’s the theme, that’s the mission--an extraordinary life,” states Brooke. “Living in a way where you can never be labeled, like Jesus. Starting revival by being the light, being different, showing who Jesus is through us.”
Taking the new music and messages on the road, LOVECOLLIDE continues their “Only King Forever Tour” with 7eventh Time Down, playing its hits and fan favorites at venues in Conneaut, OH (4/27), Washington Court House, OH (4/28), Marshall, MO (5/3), Pleasant Hill, IA (5/4), Leesville, LA (5/11) and more.
“We want our music to be an experience, not just something to listen to,” shares Lauren. “We want the vibe, the style we give people and the love they receive to be something they remember, something that changes them.”
