URAL THOMAS & THE PAIN
With their new album Dancing Dimensions due out 3rd June via Bella Union, Ural Thomas And The Pain today share a final pre-release track, “Promises”, from this much-anticipated LP. Of the track Ural says: “The song Promises talks about one of the most powerful things I believe in, that tomorrow is not promised to us so what we do today really matters. I try not to promise anything to anyone in the future, instead I strive to give all the love to the world that I can right here, right now.” Click HERE to listen.
Ural Thomas And The Pain have previously shared the tracks “Dancing Dimensions”, “Do You Remember The Times We Had? ” and “Gimme Some Ice Cream” from the album.
“Veteran soul man enjoys continued renaissance… His third LP since emerging from retirement a decade ago sounds like a compilation of 70s’ soul highlights: the title track could be Shuggie Otis, ‘Heaven’ resembles the soulful funk-folk of Bill Withers, ‘First Dimension’ is like a Roy Ayres jam session. Best of all is the sprightly, Jackson 5-inspired ‘Gimme Some Ice Cream.’ Throughout, the octogenarian Thomas’ voice is in astonishingly limber condition.” Uncut – 8/10
