May 31 — Extreme unveiled another new single and video from its forthcoming album, Six, this week.
The band premiered its new single, ‘Other Side of the Rainbow‘ and its video Wednesday. The single and its companion video are the fourth from the album behind the album’s other three singles, ‘Rise,’ ‘Banshee,’ and ‘Rebel.’
The album’s track listing is noted below:
SIX Track listing:
1. Rise
2. #Rebel
3. Banshee
4. Other Side of the Rainbow
5. Small Town Beautiful
6. The Mask
7. Thicker Than Blood
8. Save Me
9. Hurricane
10. X Out
11. Beautiful Girls
12. Here’s to the Losers
The song’s musical arrangement is a steady, mid-tempo rocker that honestly harkens back to some of the light rock sounds and styles of the 1990s a la Gin Blossoms and others of that ilk. It establishes a positive mood through its arrangement, and that mood is enhanced through the song’s lyrical theme, which focuses on the message that love can be found and is possible.
The theme is illustrated through the song’s video, which features the story of a young couple in love going out and about. The couple goes to the beach and on a road trip before the young man returns his love interest to her house at day’s end. Meanwhile the band performs its new single in a sunlit field as the song plays over the collective visualization.
In other news, Extreme recently announced a tour in support of Six.
