“Somewhere along the album’s journey, I became obsessed with the idea of a Kaleidoscope.” Said George Sheppard. The record, released in February 2021, is an album dedicated to the wonders of love, in every form and is infused with stories of love, loss, heartbreak, and happiness from all angles and is a celebration of a tumultuous yet enriching couple of years, with music becoming the glue that held the band together. The album was announced when Sheppard made history by performing in the coveted half-time slot at the 2020 AFL Grand Final held outside of Victoria. Starting in the early stages of 2020, Sheppard began their self-imposed challenge of releasing one single per month for an entire year, slowly bringing together the many elements of pop-powerhouse band’s third studio album, ‘Kaleidoscope Eyes’. 1 on the ARIA charts in 2018, collected another ARIA nomination, and spawned the hit “Coming Home”, while Sheppard’s overseas fan base remains as passionate as ever 2019’s “Die Young” was #2 on the Netherlands airplay charts for weeks.

Overcoming the immense pressure that follows a global smash, Sheppard went on to have their music picked up for syncing by various TV stations, shows, and films including ESPN, Good Morning America, the trailer for the Disney/Pixar film Onwards and more recently, The 2021 Summer Olympics and American Idol. “I think more than ever, we are really confident in our sound,” says Amy.

The song was presented alongside a comedic clip written and directed by Sarah McLeod that sees the band acting out the moon landing on the ‘set of 2001 A Space Odyssey’ with ‘Stanley Kubrick’. In 2019 TSJ jetted off to space with the new single The Impossible, a heavy riff driven anthem about moon landing conspiracy theories.
