It may have taken Kansas 16 years to come back to the music scene, but what’s important is that they did it! After the departure of Steve Walsh – a founding member, lead vocalist and keyboardist of Kansas, Ronnie Platt stepped in as their new frontman. The results came in late September 2016, when Kansas finally released the long-awaited comeback album, titled “The Prelude Implicit”. The elevating, colorful mixture of progressive and hard rock, along with the refreshing vocals of singer Ronnie Platt create the perfect rock experience. As a matter of fact, I recently placed “The Prelude Implicit” at #1 on my list of TOP 10 Rock Albums of 2016. Kansas‘s new musical journey was totally worth the wait!
Kansas celebrated their comeback with a tour, where fans were able to catch up with their newest release, as well as enjoy timeless classics from their hey days. The wonderful experience of performing on stage once again was captured in a very honest, quite charming music video for the song “Rhythm in the Spirit”. The exciting hard rocker most certainly deserves the spotlight it was given; so thank you Kansas for giving us a chance to experience (though second-handedly) the magic of your live shows. Catch the new MV below and make sure you listen to the album in case you haven’t! I wonder which song will be the next to get a music video? I hope it is “Camouflage”.

Rhythm in the Spirit Lyrics
Bad habits have a way
Of numbing all the pain
Inherent in what we see
And what we’ve come to know
We emulate the ones we want to be
Answers hard to find
With a mind that lives confined
Blind and unaware
Doesn’t mean it isn’t there
(Chorus)
If you can change your mind
And see what’s there to find
There’s rhythm in the spirit
A new light will arise
And let you recognize
Reaching to fill the glass
This one is number eight
Behaviour is innate
With all sensation gone
Not knowing to refuse
Be careful now,
There’s everything to lose
Answers hard to find
With a mind that lives confined
Blind and unaware
Doesn’t mean it isn’t there
But knowing what we know
There are better things to share
(Chorus)
Answers hard to find
With a mind that lives confined
Blind and unaware
Doesn’t mean it isn’t there
But knowing what we know
There are better things to share
(Chorus)
