Song: “It’s Been A Long Time”
Album: PROMETHEUS & PANDORA (due in stores October 13th)
Pre-Order: Official Store | Amazon | iTunes

Sananda Maitreya may not be as well known worldwide as his previous incarnation as Terence Trent D’Arby, but next month sees the release of his seventh studio album since 2005. Add in the five barnstorming and multi-faceted albums under his better-known guise and you have a prolific and gifted musical artist with plenty to say.

Scheduled to be released on October 13th, the mythically inspired PROMETHEUS & PANDORA is a 3-volume, 53-track, 178-minute voyage into the state of the human condition in 2017. Lead single “It’s Been A Long Time,” featuring Luisa Corna, is a rollicking slice of typically idiosyncratic Maitreya fare and wets the lips for what promises to be an ambitious and daring concept album.
