For ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION founder and vocalist Astrum Lux Lucis, covering THE GO-GO'S ‘We Got The Beat’ returns to a song she played as a young drummer. The newly available cover appears on Echoes Of An Era, an eight-song covers EP arriving December 18, 2026 via AstraLux Records.
‘The Go-Go's are the reason I decided I wanted to be a rock star. I was a young drummer, and this was one of my favorite songs to play. I knew I had to include one of their songs on this project,’ Astrum Lux Lucis comments.
ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION recasts the song’s drum-driven arrangement with a heavier metalcore approach, combining clean vocals and screams while retaining its playful character. For the vocalist, the selection also reflects a desire to reconnect with the inner child who wants to play, move and enjoy being alive.
Echoes Of An Era draws its eight selections from the 1980s, interpreting them through alternative metal and modern hard rock with elements of metalcore. Astrum Lux Lucis created the collection in collaboration with producer and songwriter Dusten ‘Dusty’ Boles. She performs the vocals, while Boles handles music composition, guitars, bass and programming.
Dusten Boles and Frank Smith mixed tracks one through seven, with Boles also mastering those tracks. The closing selection, ‘Last Christmas,’ has separate production credits: Oakden Sapp produced, arranged and mixed that song, and Maor Appelbaum mastered it.

Astrum Lux Lucis first played drums in the teenage band PRIVATE OUTRAGE before becoming a vocalist and solo artist under her birth name, Cheryl Hill. Her background also includes studying video and music production at Full Sail in the 1980s. She later earned a BBA in Management and Entrepreneurship from the University of Miami, where she studied music and music business and was a vocal principal.
Following years of performing and recording as Cheryl Hill, a personal transformation led to the adoption of the name Astrum Lux Lucis and the creation of ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION. The project began in Austin, Texas, and is now based between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, bringing together professional musicians and collaborators for studio and stage work.
The project’s stated purpose is to make emotionally honest, heavy music that inspires, uplifts and empowers listeners. Its central phrase, ‘Revolution requires evolution,’ connects that aim to a philosophy of meaningful change beginning with transformation within the individual.
