VOCES8 Records is delighted to release the third single from Apollo5’s forthcoming album 'Crossings'.

‘Row On’ by Tim Laycock, newly arranged by APOLLO5 soprano Penelope Appleyard, is a spirited sea shanty inspired by words found aboard an 1846 Nantucket whaling ship.

With its driving pulse and evocative rhythms, ‘Row On’ captures the movement of the oars, the swell of the waves and the uncertainty of the journey, a taste of the crossing at the heart of 'Crossings' 🌊
