Identity - Far East Movement
Identity

The fifth studio-album Identity of the American (electro)hip hop/rap group Far East Movement after the success of Dirty Bass in 2012. The album contains special features from Tinashe, Elijah Blake, Soulja Boy, Big K.R.I.T. and many others and was released on the 21st of October 2016. The lead-single “Freal Luv” was released on the 14th of October, including a music video. In an interview with Billboard, the band told: “Identity has always been an issue with us, from how we perceive ourselves as Americans to how people actually see us, and how Asia sees us as foreigners while people in the U.S. might think Asia is home to us. When we were first starting in the music industry people would telling us to wear glasses and change our name from Far East movement because it’s ‘too Asian.’ It was a different time, but that type of stuff stays with you and affects your perspective…we decided to disconnect, work on building our production and writing skills, spend time traveling around Asia learning the music scene, the business culture and proper customs. The trips gave us some real clarity on our own identity and what we want to do next in our own lives, which gave us the inspiration to make a new album. Identity is a Far East Movement, in a sense, bridging artists from the east with artists from the west while fusing different genres we love.
