The Brighton Beat returns with “Victory At Last,” the second single and title track from their highly anticipated upcoming album, available everywhere on May 2 via Jackson Yard Records. While the band has built its reputation on infectious Afrobeat and global grooves, this new release sees them leaning into a more traditional, no-frills funk sound—heavy backbeat, deep pocket, and all.

A true sonic departure, “Victory at Last” blends classic funk sensibilities with the grit of early sampled music—drawing inspiration fromTrip-Hop and Hip-Hop breakbeats while layering in cinematic horns, dirty keys, and a throbbing bassline. It’s a sound that feels both nostalgic and daringly modern.

More than just a stylistic pivot, “Victory at Last”is a declaration of artistic growth. It explores what it means to make funk in 2025, pushing the boundaries of ensemble playing, vintage production techniques, and groove-forward storytelling. It’s a head-nodding, heart-moving, body-shaking journey that leaves no stone unturned.

With this second single, The Brighton Beat sets the stage for their most dynamic and expansive project yet—redefining their sound while staying true to the power of the groove.
