Sublime has released the single “Ensenada” which marks the first new original song with Jakob Nowell on lead vocals — having assumed lead duties for the project in memory of his late father, Bradley Nowell.
A social media post reads: “The Wait is Over 
“Ensenada”— brand new music from Sublime—is live now. Raw, real, and reckless. I declare you’re stoked 
Listen now at the link in our bio 
”
“Ensenada” is the first song shared from Sublime’s upcoming studio album, which will be the first full record with Jakob, alongside Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson.
Said Jakob in a statement: “’Ensenada’ and the new music we’re working on is inspired by old Sublime material. You can’t match something from that 90s era – it was such a moment in time. This feels like an epilogue, a thank you to all of the fans and everyone who’s supported Sublime. Our goal with ‘Ensenada’ was not to replicate anything, but from my perspective it’s more like a tribute to my uncles Bud and Eric and the inspiration they give me. It’s organic and we have a good time. We did a bunch of jams, dove into the old catalog, and the more it felt like fun—throwing it all together and seeing what sticks—the more we knew that was the right move. Creating genuine music that reflects your life and times… people tap into that, and then you look around and realize, wow, look at all the love we’ve found.”
