3rd Force - Lifeforce (2025)

After nearly a decade, 3rd Force – the groundbreaking duo of William Aura and Craig Dobbin – returns with ‘Lifeforce’, a vibrant new album that reaffirms their status as pioneers of genre-blending instrumental music. Brian Hughes, Nils, and Lawson Rollins are just a few of the all-star collaborators on this record, which marks 3rd Force’s 30th anniversary in the industry. Their last album, ‘Global Force’ (2016), delivered a Billboard Radio #1 smash with ‘Big Shot’ and sent ‘Breakout’ soaring to #2 – proving 3rd Force’s uncanny ability to craft irresistible, chart-dominating grooves.

“The fans and radio kept asking for more,” says Baja/TSR label head Tom Hayden. “We knew 3rd Force had another classic in them.” Nearly 18 months ago, the duo reunited, channeling their global experiences into ’Lifeforce’ – a record that blends jazz funk, world music, and cinematic soul like never before. With 11 featured artists, including smooth jazz royalty and global virtuosos, ’Lifeforce’ is both a homecoming and an evolution. 3rd Force ‘Lifeforce’ Release Date | June 27, 2025.
