Ben Harper releases his eagerly anticipated, fiercely personal soulful album, 'Bloodline Maintenance' in 2022. The album is preceded by the single ,'We Need to Talk About It', which, propelled by Harper's blisteringly funky guitar, defiantly addresses the wounds of slavery through a sharp-edged call-and-response with gospel backing vocals and pounding rhythms augmented by the distinctive sound of the African talking drum. 'This whole album is really soul music reinterpreted with a lap steel', Harper says. 'I believe strongly that music has this great capacity for communication like a sonic newsprint. And I've always believed that the music I write has a place in the choir'.
