Home Free - Challenge the Sea (Deluxe) (2026) [Hi-Res]

"Challenge the Sea (Deluxe)" represents a massive dive by the famous American a cappella quintet into the aesthetics of sea shanties and traditional folk music. The expanded deluxe edition combines studio recordings of classic maritime work songs, such as "Santiana" and "Leave Her Johnny," with epic vocal interpretations of historical ballads (like Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"). The significance of the release is highlighted by collaborations with key figures in the genre—historical music specialist Sean Dagher and the British group The Longest Johns. This gives the album an authentic polyphonic sound while fully maintaining Home Free's signature vocal bass and beatbox elements. The live recordings (LIVE) included in the deluxe version demonstrate their flawless mastery of live performance and the powerful energy of their audience interaction.
