After five years spent largely confined to the United States, Ron Trent is set to return to global touring in 2025. To mark the occasion, he’s partnered with Rush Hour to release Lift Off, a new album of music recorded at different points over the past decade.

Arriving nearly 35 years after his game‑changing debut with the Afterlife EP, Lift Off was inspired by Trent’s desire to “let the imagination speak for itself” while exploring the diverse influences that have shaped his musical perspective. This collection of ten tracks blends epic instrumentals, vocal collaborations, and inspired arrangements, marking a departure from his 2022 downtempo project What Do The Stars Say To You.
