Following the success of “RISE,” “BANSHEE,” “#REBEL,” “OTHER SIDE OF THE RAINBOW,” and “THE MASK” (over 10,000,000 combined views and counting), EXTREME return with “HURRICANE.”
The sixth single and video from “SIX” (their new album and one of the most acclaimed of 2023), “HURRICANE” features that classic unique vocal interplay between Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt. The track mixes velvet-smooth harmonies and a delicately plucked melody that wraps around the chorus in a gorgeous embrace… “it’s the storm before the calm.”
Written after the loss of a good friend, Nuno reflects, “We get crushed by losing someone. Time passes and we calm down, but the pain never goes away.”
“That’s where Nuno shines, man,” adds Gary. “Everyone looks at him as a guitar hero, but he’s a songwriter first. This is a beautiful piece of music.”
The video, once again directed by Nuno, features all four band members (including drummer Kevin Figueiredo and bassist Pat Badger) individually confronting difficult moments, but finding the inspiration to continue. And when they all come together as Extreme… they remind us all of who we are and who we can be… from one extreme to the other.
