The album opens with “I Get It,” a track that immediately captures attention with its emotive lyrics and polished

WORLD5’s strength lies in their global collaboration. With members hailing from the United States, Sweden, and New

intricate guitar work, Jimmy Olsson’s basslines, and Raimund Breitfeld Sailon’s rhythmic precision. Guest
contributions, including saxophone by Stephan Goessl and keyboards by Charles Leimer, add further texture to the
album. Standout tracks like “My Life My Soul (Tamara’s Song)” and “A Moment in Time” exemplify the emotional depth
that defines III. The album’s themes of love, resilience, and connection are universally relatable, while the band’s
polished production ensures a captivating sound throughout.
WORLD5 has built a reputation for their seamless blend of international styles, and III solidifies their place in the
