As anticipation builds for their eagerly-awaited third album, RUCKUS!, to arrive on August 18, Movements continues to bewitch fans with their latest offering, “Tightrope.” The band has been steadily building excitement with the release of three singles, including “Fail You,” “Killing Time,” and “Lead Pipe,” leading up to the album drop. “Tightrope” takes listeners on a soul-stirring, nearly five-minute journey through its melancholic pop ballad structure, drawing inspiration from icons such as Justin Bieber.

Then, later… Read more »

Vocalist and producer Raul Lopez shares, “‘LAST BREATH’ was written while being stuck in the Nashville ice storm earlier this year with our good friend Gianni Taylor.
