The reggae element of the 311 formula starts off “Don’t You Worry,” one of two new songs the band just released in advance of a new album. But we know 311 doesn’t stay in one musical place for very long, and “Don’t You Worry” slowly climbs into a distorted chorus with a message.
“We all go through highs and lows,” frontman Nick Hexum points out. “And lows can often lead to confusion, despair and loneliness. “Don’t You Worry” is about how a friend should react when we sense someone is going through a hard time.”

The second new song that 311 has gifted us with is called “Good Feeling,” and the track lives up to its title as a happy, danceable, island-inspired good time suitable for summer playlists.
“This song is an antidote to all the fear, anger, and division so prevalent in society today,” Hexum explained. “Musically, the song is equally influenced by the pounding rhythms that SA and I discovered when exploring the dancehall street scenes in Jamaica.”
Both tracks will be included on 311’s upcoming 13th studio album Voyager. It will be released on June 28th and you can pre-order it here. 311 will also be on-tour this summer. Check out the list of dates below.
