RBL is back with a heartfelt new release — They Were Great, dropping September 5. This single is more than just a vibe — it’s a celebration of the legends who shaped the soundtrack of our lives.
🎤 A Tribute to Timeless Greatness
Written and performed in homage to some of the most iconic voices in music history, They Were Great is RBL’s way of saying “thank you.” Artists like The Commodores, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, and many others lit the path for generations to follow — not just with their vocals, but with their soul, their storytelling, and the culture they shaped.
These legends weren’t just singers — they were architects of feeling. From Marvin’s socially conscious soul to MJ’s timeless pop perfection, their music shaped how we love, grieve, celebrate, and dream.
RBL wanted to channel that same spirit into something fresh — not imitation, but inspiration. They Were Great is smooth, emotional, and full of the kind of musicality that made those artists unforgettable.

- Billy: “We kept coming back to the hook because it spoke to all of us. It’s about remembering people and moments that shaped us, and putting that emotion into the music.”
- Rayniel: “The magic of this song is in its simplicity — raw emotion, powerful melody. We didn’t overthink it, we just let it flow.”
