DESCRIPTION:
Starting fresh for 2017, Tortured Soul makes good on the promise of new music with this funk-laced new track.

JOHN CHRISTIAN URICH's remix / dub has a beautiful, longing, calypso feel that uncovers layers of vocals and instrumentation present in the original, but is dramatically reconstructed to create a more serious mood . You can feel the longing for love like a Butterfly senses impending rain. The arrangement features Isamu Mcgregor's flowing Rhodes, Jordan Scannella's deep groove, Mark Tewarson's sweetly syncopated guitar, and John Christian Urich's signature, gripping, hook-laden styled vocals.

Tortured Soul is 100% LIVE, modern, deep, soulful, house music. The band’s frontman and songwriter, John-Christian Urich, can be seen simultaneously drumming and singing with effortless mastery, while bassist, Jordan Scannella, and keyboardist, Isamu McGregor, virtuosically generate the pulsating accompaniment that has been making bodies sweat for years and continues to be what Gilles Peterson called “The future of house music.” Influenced by the classic songcraft of Prince, Heatwave and Kool & The Gang, and likened to The Roots of house music, Tortured Soul’s sound is reminiscent of neo-soul groups like Jamiroquai or Brand New Heavies, while also being deeply saturated in the contemporary freshness of house purveyors like Joey Negro, Louie Vega, Soul Clap and Disclosure.
