On June 12th, Cartel will break from the "Bubble" with a concert on Hudson River Park's Pier 54 in New York City. The performance will serve as the grand finale to MTV's "Band in a Bubble Presented by Dr Pepper," a four-part music series that documented the band's 20 days spent locked inside a transparent bubble, where they've been living while recording a new album live for all the world to see. The concert, which will air live in its entirety on www.drpepperbubble.com and partially on MTV, will see the band previewing several songs recorded while inside the bubble, including new lead single, "Lose It." The event will also officially kick off Hudson River Parks' RiverRocks summer concert series presented by Dr Pepper.
"Lose It," which features guest vocals by Epic Records labelmate/Automatic Loveletter frontwoman Juliet Simms, will be available on iTunes on June 12th. Cartel's highly anticipated new—and self-titled—album will be in stores on August 21st.
The media and fans alike have been buzzing about Cartel, who on May 24th sealed themselves inside a huge transparent bubble on Pier 54, where they've been holed up while working on the follow-up to their breakthrough debut CHROMA. Twenty-three live web cams have been streaming the Atlanta quintet's every move, offering fans an unprecedented real-time look into the ups and downs of the creative process. Cartel recorded the album with producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount, the same team behind CHROMA.
Fans have seen everything from the band members' waking moments and creative differences to jam sessions and appearances by special guests, including acclaimed producer and multiplatinum artist Wyclef Jean. During the course of the recording process, the band enlisted The Boys and Girls Choir of Harlem Alumni Ensemble to sing on a few tracks and also auditioned various New York City street musicians to perform on the record.
