We the Generation is the second studio album to be released by British drum and bass band Rudimental. The album's release was announced in April 2015, with a release date set for October 2, 2015, although the album leaked online a week prior to its release.[1]

The album contains a number of collaborations with singers Will Heard and Anne-Marie, as well as appearances from Ed Sheeran, Lianne La Havas, Dizzee Rascal, Foy Vance, Ella Eyre, MNEK and Bobby Womack. A number of singles were released from the album prior to its release, including "Bloodstream", featuring Sheeran.

Singles

  • "Bloodstream", featuring Ed Sheeran, was released as the album's first single on March 29, 2015.[2] It is a re-work of the original song which features on Sheeran's album x. The song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. In an interview with The Sun, regarding the collaboration, DJ Locksmith said, "We were working in LA and Ed Sheeran rocked up to our studio with The Game and Ellie Goulding. We made four tracks and revisited one this year to give it a Rudimental spin. We've known Ed for years. I remember when we first saw him getting noticed by everyone, he gave us one of his tracks to remix and he said it was one of the best remixes he'd ever had. We'd never recorded with him before, but we kept the connection and he's a massive name now. The song is so sick, so insane. We can't wait to show it to people."[3]
  • "Never Let You Go", featuring Foy Vance, was released as the album's second single on June 12, 2015.[4] The track premiered on April 27, 2015 as BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac's Hottest Record in the World.[5] A music video was produced for the song which features the band as well as shots of Ukraine, Los Angeles, Morocco and the band's native United Kingdom.[6] The single peaked at number 29 on the UK Singles Chart.
  • "I Will for Love", featuring Will Heard, was released as the album's third single on July 31, 2015.[7] The single did not chart on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band's first single since "Spoons" not to reach the top 100. The single was later re-released alongside a remix EP, but again did not chart.[8]
  • "Rumour Mill", featuring both Anne-Marie and Will Heard, was released as the album's fourth single on August 28, 2015. The track had previously premiered on June 19, 2015 on BBC Radio 1, and a promotional video was released on June 22. Following the single's release in the form of a remix EP,[9] the single charted at number 67 on the UK Singles Chart.
  • "Lay It All on Me", also featuring Sheeran, was released as the album's fifth single. The track premiered on September 25, 2015. An official release date for the track has not yet been announced, although the music video is due to premiere in early October.[10]
  • "Common Emotion", featuring MNEK, was released as the album's sixth single on March 25, 2016.

Promotional singles

  • "Love Ain't Just a Word", featuring Anne-Marie and Dizzee Rascal, was released as an instant grat single from the album on July 17, 2015. This subsequently resulted in the track peaking at number 108 on the UK Singles Chart. A promotional video for the song was also released.
  • "We the Generation", featuring Mahalia, was released as a second instant grat single from the album on September 18, 2015, alongside the remix EP of the single "I Will for Love". The song did not chart on the UK Singles Chart.
