Florence and London-based band Reversed Chakra released the single “Stars Are Forever” on 23 October through Dungeon Media, the first single from their forthcoming debut album, “Healing Heart Rehab,” set for 2027.
Paul Reeve and Leo Martera produced and tracked the song; John Fryer produced and mixed it; Marco Malavasi, Leonardo Martera and Alan Douches mastered it at West West Side Music. Reversed Chakra’s lineup is Justin Brett on vocals, Alice Bianconcini on guitars, synthesizers and piano, Carlo Bellotti on bass, synthesizers and piano, Leo Martera on drums, and Marco Malavasi on synthesizers and piano. On Bandcamp, the band describes the song as built “around tension, resistance and emotional release,” reflecting “the struggle to hold on to something meaningful while everything around us seems determined to pull it apart.”
An official video, posted the same day, sets the song to a series of neon animations. “This video is not simply a visual accompaniment to the song,” director Charly said of the clip.
