Rock pioneer Arthur Brown, the self-proclaimed God of Hellfire, has shared a new single, ‘Bursting The Bubble’, taken from his forthcoming album Nature, due on 4th September through Prophecy Productions. Created in collaboration with Dan Smith, the album will be marked with a release show at Prophecy Fest over release weekend.
Speaking about the new single, Brown said: “Does the planet Earth need us and our media? Is AI becoming a better guardian of the Earth than humanity? Have we lost the imagination to care for our world, its creatures, and ourselves?
“So many of us now live inside a media bubble. Who does that truly serve? Can we still protect ourselves mentally, emotionally and spiritually against the growing feeling that nothing works anymore? Is this becoming our normal state of mind?”
A video accompanies the single’s release and was filmed on a mobile phone, as he further explained: “This music video is deliberately shot vertically. Balloons are drawing our gaze upward, while our feet remain firmly rooted on the natural ground. It is both an artistic choice and a social commentary, inviting us to reflect on the way we now see ourselves, each other, and the world around us. What is reality?”
