Best known for his dynamic role within the explosive London four-piece Sons of Kemet, Cross is also a solo artist. He\u2019s released an EP (2015\u2019s <i>Aspirations<\/i>) and two full-length albums \u2014 2019\u2019s <i>Fyah<\/i> and last year\u2019s <i>Intra-I<\/i>, always keeping the deep tones of his untraditional lead instrument front and center. Today, he\u2019s shared a new seven inch single, \u201cWings,\u201d along with a B-side instrumental cover of Aswad\u2019s British reggae classic \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BgZFwT_A1Ko\">Back To Africa<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            \u201cWings\u201d is a no-frills cut full of the laser-focused energy that makes Cross so captivating on stage. It starts out simply, the labor of each run of notes amplified by the trace of a deep breath before it. Hand-struck drums enter the scene, building slowly toward the next phase of the five-and-a-half minute track, where Cross begins to harmonize over himself, elevating his instrument to heights it rarely sees, either in pitch or creativity.<\/p>\n<p>            \u201cConceptually, the song speaks of the metaphorical wings needed to take flight and embrace new changes and directions in life,\u201d Cross explains in a statement accompanying the single. \u201cIt captures a feeling of freedom and symbolizes a sense of progressive movement which feels significant as I move into a new chapter in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Check out the visualizers for \u201cWings\u201d and \u201cBack To Africa,\u201d and view Theon Cross\u2019 upcoming tour dates, below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;
