THE ELOVATERS DROP A FRESH SPIN ON ‘CASTAWAY’ WITH AUSSIE HIP-HOP STAR DRAPHT
Massachusetts reggae rock sensation The Elovaters have teamed up with Australian hip-hop powerhouse Drapht for an exciting twist on their fan-favourite track, Castaway.Â
Originally released on their latest album, Endless Summer, this reimagined version is set to turn heads! Recently dropped as part of Endless Summer (Deluxe), the collaboration brings fresh energy just in time for The Elovaters’ November tour in Australia and New Zealand with The Original Wailers.
DRAPHT’S SLICK VERSES OVER THE ELOVATERS’ SMOOTH RHYTHMS TAKES CASTAWAY ON A WHOLE NEW VIBE
This new release isn’t their first taste of the big stage, though. The Elovaters recently wrapped up a 24-show amphitheatre tour, supporting reggae heavyweights Dirty Heads and Slightly Stoopid.
Now they’re back on the road with their own 17-date headlining tour, making waves and earning new fans with every stop.
With Drapht’s slick verses layered over The Elovaters’ smooth reggae rhythms, Castaway takes on a whole new vibe. Perfectly timed for their upcoming Down Under dates, this track shows The Elovaters are just getting started in spreading endless summer vibes.
