Background

Former lead singer Maxi Jazz died in December 2022. [2] In April 2024, Faithless stated, "Maxi died just over a year ago and obviously we miss him every day. Thank you for all your kind words of support over this last year. It has really, really meant a lot. In the meantime, we never stopped (couldn't stop, never wanted to stop!) making music. Even during Maxi's long illness we recorded and released 'All Blessed', and now finally, eight years after our last live performance, we are returning to festival stages [...] we are, in fact, in the studio as we write this." [3] Faithless announced the title of the album on the same day that lead single, "Find a Way", was released. [4]

The album's lead single, "Find a Way", was released on 12 July 2024, and features vocals by Suli Breaks. An official music video, directed by Benn Veasey, was released on 18 July 2024. [5]

"I'm Not Alone (Rest Well Maxwell)" was released as the second single on 30 August 2024. [6] [7] Collaborator Amelia Fox and LSK feature. The song mentions a number of deceased music artists including: Amy Winehouse, Tupac Shakur, Craig Mack, Kurt Cobain, Avicii and Left Eye. [8]

On 25 April 2025, Faithless released the single "Dollars and Dimes", featuring Bebe Rexha. [9] [10]
