Tebi Rex - It's Gonna Be Okay (Album)

Fresh from their debut London headline show, Irish hip hop duo Tebi Rex release their new album ‘It’s Gonna Be Okay’ - a collection of tracks that see the band push the boundaries of their own sound and embrace pop and alternative influences alongside their rap roots. In the artists’ own words - 

"It's about a boy learning to cope, to be happy in a world that feels like it's on fire. We're tryna’ be optimistic for once. Sorta."

As with their Greek mythology based 2019 debut The Young Will Eat The Old, It’s Gonna Be Okay is an album that reveals an intriguing narrative across its eleven chapters. The four singles already released in 2021 have hinted at what’s to come – hope, despair, passion, rage, a talking tree – but now the full story is ready to be revealed. Featuring some of the band’s darkest, most aggressive songs alongside moments in the alternative pop sunshine, the record tackles life in modern Ireland, politics, the Irish language, racism, death, anxiety, austerity, social media and a moment of clarity on a rainy Dublin evening. Veering from the belief that it indeed will be alright in the end to the exact opposite, the album comes to some sort of conclusion. Whether you agree is up to you.
