In celebration of today’s release of Royel Otis’ deluxe version of “PRATTS & PAIN (It Ain’t Over Til It Ends),” and with their Late Night TV Debut Soon To Follow On Jimmy Kimmel Live! (10/16), the Australian duo’s star continues to rise, as they’ve also treated fans to new single off the expanded debut album – “If Our Love Is Dead.”
“‘If Our Love Is Dead’ was born out of that feeling when you’ve been with someone for a while and you’re not sure if the spark is still there. You’re like… If it’s dead and it’s not there, then what are we holding on to? What are we doing it for? Are we doing it for the sake of just sticking it out, or do we actually just want to cut paths and move on with things?” – Royel Otis
The final jewel in Royel Otis‘ “PRATTS & PAIN” crown, “If Our Love Is Dead” closes out the deluxe edition It Ain’t Over Til It Ends; following on from releases of the joyously fizzy “Claw Foot,” grunge-tuned “Merry Mary Marry Me,” and tender “Til The Morning” – the latter which saw a first play on Apple Music’s New Music Daily with Zane Lowe.
Royel Otis will make their Late Night TV debut October 16th on Jimmy Kimmel live, yet another step closer towards the band’s growing global influence. The deluxe release follows a grand ARIA reveal that saw the band named the highest nominated artist for their upcoming 2024 Awards, having accumulated an incredible eight nominations, spanning the following categories – Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Indie Release, Best Rock Album, Best Aussie Live Act, Best Engineered, Best Producer, and Song of the Year for their cover of ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ (triple j Like a Version). This is the second consecutive year the duo have been nominated, following a nod at the 2023 Award for Breakthrough Artist.
