Just over a year after Ramkot released their second album Rosa, the band surprises their fans with a refreshing rework of their hit "Hollow", together with legendary pianist Jef Neve.  Together with the rework the bad also announces a new EP called "Facts don't mean a thing" which will contain another 3 new songs and which will be released on November 14th.

Now what happens when you let raw rock energy collide with classically inspired jazz? The answer is a captivating and unexpectedly layered reinterpretation of "Hollow". At first glance, Ramkot and Jef Neve seem to operate in entirely different musical universes — one rooted in versatile, energetic rock, the other at home in refined jazz and classical influences. But it was precisely within this apparent contrast that they found each other, resulting in a unique version of "Hollow" where both worlds not only meet but also amplify one another.

The reimagined version shows how genre boundaries can blur when there is room for mutual respect and artistic curiosity.

Jef Neve's subtle, emotionally charged piano performance lifts the song to a new level, while Ramkot's intense vocals and band dynamics remain intact — yet are cast in a different light. The result is an enchanting symbiosis of tension, nuance, and energy. This collaboration underlines the power of musical cross-pollination and demonstrates how refreshing it can be to step off the beaten path. "Hollow," in this new form, is not a remix but a rebirth — a song that will surprise and move both Ramkot fans and admirers of Jef Neve alike.

As a fiery finale to the Rosa era, Ramkot is also announcing the release of a brand-new EP. The EP, titled Facts Don't Mean A Thing, will be released on November 14. It features four powerful tracks, combining surprising collaborations with brand-new material. The first ideas were planted during their retreat in Joshua Tree, but it wasn't until after their extensive Rosa album tour that the songs truly took shape. The result is an intense and uncompromising closing chapter to a turbulent period.
