“Shoulder to Shoulder” is the latest single from Alexander Broussard, released on December 15, 2020. With its message of peace, love and brotherhood it is exactly the song the world needs right now. From the opening World Beat rhythms, the track immediately adopts a global stance. From there Alexander and his band break into an uplifting and emotional chorus singing, “Hand in hand, we will stand shoulder to shoulder in peace.” It is beautiful and very moving. As the song progresses the mix of piano, drums, guitar and choral voices builds into a joyous wave of sound.
