Roots & Tings Calls To The Masses To Vote In New Single "Election Time"

Article Contributed by Press Junkie PR | Published on Saturday, October 24, 2020

Roots and Tings are excited to announce their timely double single release “Election Time” and the Headnodic Remix “Election Time” Ft. Rico Pabon! The new singles are a rally cry to the masses to exercise their voices and right to vote. Listen here: http://smarturl.it/electiontime.
 
Roots and Tings comments, “‘Election Time’ speaks to the complex feelings Americans have about the upcoming election. The phony political promises, the broken, intrinsically racist, sexist, classist and, in this time, a lying administration that is increasingly, dangerously authoritarian.  The need to resist and fight includes- but is not limited to- voting.  This song explores that, as well as the “why” behind it.”

They continue, “But the song also speaks to the joy and hope that ‘Election Time’ can embody. The way it can be a time to celebrate as the will of the people is made manifest.
A time to party for the hope of a better tomorrow. 
A time to choose.
A time to self-define. 
A time to fight at the ballot box for equality that only even showed up because of protests and riots.
A time to dance
Election Time”
 
The Bay Area based Revolutionary Culture Music creators, Roots and Tings, is comprised of Quannum and Solesides co-founder, Grammy nominated MC, Lateef the Truth Speaker, acclaimed Bay Area DJ and producer Jah Yzer and the multi-talented musician and reggae artist Winstrong.

Winstrong states, "Our mission described best as learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations. Roots and Tings is a community of curious souls with a generous goal to engage with each other thru the stories told."
 
Roots and Tings debuted with their critically acclaimed album All of This, out now and available everywhere. The new album is stacked with standouts including the recently released video for 'Dominoes,' a catchy groove with powerful and provocative lyricism. They also have new music on the Bandcamp exclusive TALK - ACTION = ZERO VOL. 2 compilation benefiting Spread the Vote, an album emphasizing the importance of voting and empowering citizens to be heard at the polls, with the new video and track "We".

For the past year, the trio has been touring Roots & Tings, as well as, new music and fan favorites, including a memorable run with Blackalicious!
