4x4 confirms title of their sixth album

Hot off the heels of their explosive live performance at the 020 Live concert, Ghana Music Awards Best Group winners 4x4 have confirmed that their next album, will be called 'Forward ever, backwards never'.

This album will be their sixth after being together and on the music scene for ten years and will be released towards the end of November. The group sees this new album as a game changer for them; as it has a fresher, more mature sound. Captain Planet, who is the leader of the group explained further when he said '4x4's maturity as a group will be evident in this album - we've picked up different sounds which will reflect in the songs and the overall feel of the album.'

The award winning group proved themselves as seasoned artistes and undisputed entertainers when they performed to Kwame Yeboah's live band at the recently ended 020 Live concert. Their performance left fans pleasantly surprised at the raw vocal talent of Captain Planet, Coded and especially Fresh Prince.

These vocals will be more pronounced in 'Forward ever, backward never'. Fans were treated to a live rendition of 'Jehovah' - one of the singles on the albums at the concert and can look forward to more mature sounds like that in the album.

The group is currently preparing to fly to Amsterdam to shoot the video to their first single on the album which is due out at the end of November. Fans can expect the first single to drop in a few weeks time.
