Pre-order/Pre-save HUN here.
Alongside the album news, The HU has unleashed a hypnotic new single entitled “Lost Soul” (Feat. Jonny Hawkins of NOTHING MORE). It marks the first collaboration between the Gold-certified global phenomenon and Hawkins.
Listen to “Lost Soul” (Feat. Jonny Hawkins of NOTHING MORE) here.
The song’s percussive, groove-laden soundscape resembles the extremes of Mongolia’s fickle and unforgiving climate. A head-nodding riff tosses and turns beneath propulsive verses, giving way to a melodic refrain from Hawkins who croons the infectious chorus, “Born to be a lost soul.” These English-sung affirmations lock into a seamless volley with traditional Mongolian chanting, uniting styles and cultures in one burst of boundary-breaking energy.
Resounding beyond all borders, the song trumpets a message of resiliency, fortitude, and strength that translates positively into any language and anywhere in the world.
Galaa comments “We have been unpacking surprises one by one. Hunnu Rock transcends cultures and, in that respect, we have made ‘Lost Soul’ with Jonny Hawkins. To not get lost on your journey, keeping your values and making your way through life with the courage to face obstacles – these are the messages we are sending our fans with this song – ‘Lost Soul’ and on our next album, HUN. “
Hawkins adds, “I am so excited to team up with a band as committed to their craft as The Hu. It’s unlike anything I’ve done before.”
HUN finds The Hu, who were first tipped by NPR back in 2019, at the peak of their powers. They expand the scope of their signature Hunnu Rock with 11 tracks steeped in the lore and legend of Mongolia, yet uplifted with universal ambition. It’s epic, enthralling and enigmatic and opens the gateway into their world.
