The Specials return with "Stereotype," a biting commentary on the persistence of racial prejudice, their first new music in a decade. The track revisits their signature sound, blending infectious ska rhythms with sharp, politically charged lyricism.
- "Stereotype" was released on August 10, 2022, by Chrysalis Records.
- The single was produced by the band and Terry Hall.
- This was the band's first release of new material since the 2019 album 'Enlightenment'.
The Specials are a British ska band formed in Coventry in 1978, known for their energetic live performances and socially conscious lyrics. They were a key act in the 2 Tone ska revival movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. This 2022 release marked their first new material in over a decade, following a period of intermittent activity and successful reunion tours.
