Electronic R&B trio Suffer The Children latest politically-charged single ‘Doesn’t Mean We’re Free’ tells the tale of unjust historical isolation. Vocalist Rian’s vocal sits atop a somewhat disjointed percussive beat with a dark basslines pulsating underneath, all that leads to a very dark, sombre affair that ties in well with the lyrical content that invokes sentiment and echoes of oppression from our systematically-shackled society.

Speaking of the new song STC commented: “Strong words for difficult times. From Billie Holliday’s Strange Fruit to Nina Simone’s Mississippi Goddamn; from Marvin Gaye’s What’s Goin’ On to Miriam Makeba’s Piece of Ground – music has always been part of the resistance. As people of color, each of us has a personal and generational history that cannot be separated from the politics and prejudice of white supremacy. We believe that as artists we have a responsibility to speak out against systemic racism and inequality, especially in times such as these. Just because we don’t see no chains, doesn’t mean we’re free.”
