Sorepo Records announces the release of the highly anticipated debut single from one of its flagship bands, The Illumin8tives. Emerging from the historic city of Selma, Alabama—renowned as a pivotal center for the voting rights movement and civil rights activities of the 1960s—The Illumin8tives bring a powerful and reflective voice to the music scene with their debut track, “The Code Mane.”
Rooted in a city that embodies the dualities of victory and struggle, regression and redemption, The Illumin8tives’ music is a profound reflection of Selma’s legacy. The group’s identity, much like Selma’s history, is a tale of two cities—one that grapples with the juxtaposition of order and chaos, darkness and light. “The Code Mane” encapsulates these complexities, offering listeners a raw and immersive experience that is as layered as the group itself.
“The Code Mane” is an introduction to a movement. The Illumin8tives have crafted a track that is both a psychological exploration and a cinematic experience, where the lead vocalist’s vivid storytelling blurs the line between music and film. The slow, crawling tempo of the music provides the perfect backdrop for the gripping narrative, drawing listeners into the harrowing tale of an archetype often misunderstood in American life, yet more familiar than we might think—the Code Mane.
This debut single is poised to make a significant impact on the music world, heralding the arrival of a band that is destined to alter the landscape of art and culture. The Illumin8tives are not just musicians—they are storytellers, historians, and visionaries, using their art to reflect and influence the world around them.
“The Code Mane” is now available on all major streaming platforms. Join The Illumin8tives on this journey as they begin to reshape the narrative of Selma’s legacy and bring a new voice to the ongoing dialogue of civil rights, justice, and identity.
