Living Colour vocalist Corey Glover and Adrenaline Mob guitarist Mike Orlando recently launched a new project called Sonic Universe, and now they have unveiled the music video for their third single and album title track “It Is What It Is”.
Complemented by the rhythm section of King and Jackson, Glover and Orlando soar over what the singer called “a tight, tight, tight groove.”
Glover continued: “The whole idea is that in order to make something new, you have to destroy the old. We do everything we can to change things, but the only way that you can change things is to believe. Right now / Right here/ Is all that it is / We lie / We try / It’s all we can give.”
“The band is killing it on this,” Glover concluded. “It’s a real gut-punch kind of sound.”

There’s no mistaking the power of Glover‘s voice, Orlando‘s ascending riffs, and the rhythm section of bassist Booker King and drummer Taykwuan Jackson to take fans “Higher” as anticipation builds for the album’s release.
The album was recorded at Orlando‘s Sonic Stomp Studios in New York City and the new video was once again directed by Tom Flynn (Lamb of God, Buckcherry). Capturing Corey in all his “colourful” glory, Sonic Universe muscles through the powerful track, showing four musicians at their peak and chemistry to conjure new musical worlds from the galaxies of hard rock, funk, punk, thrash, and metal.
