New York City’s future-soul collective The Love Experiment returns with "Who’s Gonna Save the World", a striking new single that anchors their forthcoming album "Velvet". Expansive yet personal, the track captures the tension between global uncertainty and individual responsibility, landing as one of the band’s most urgent and resonant releases to date.
The Love Experiment has always blurred the lines between genres, and here they elevate their fusion of soul, hip hop, and cosmic textures to new heights. Opening with infectious grooves and pulsing electronic flourishes, the song builds into a rich soundscape led by J. Hoard’s soaring, gospel-inflected vocals and Charles Burchell’s fiery alter ego Karnival Kid. The interplay creates a balance of vulnerability and defiance, pulling listeners into both the weight of the message and the liberation within it.
For Burchell, who also serves as drummer and producer, the track’s purpose goes far beyond the music itself: “‘Who’s Gonna Save the World’ is a powerful reflection on global chaos and the urgent need for personal transformation, asking the timeless question: where does real change begin? … At its core, it’s an anthem of self-reflection, reminding us that true revolution starts within, and the frequency we carry can shape the world around us.”
This central idea gives the single its emotional charge. "Who’s Gonna Save the World" is a reminder that transformation begins inward, and through that, the possibility of reshaping the collective future.
