Dripping in soul, Fly My Pretties present another taste of their upcoming new album, Elemental. Featuring lead vocals from Wellington-based modern soul revivalist Louis TM, ’Take My Hand’ is one of the slower tracks on the album, a ballad set to become a favourite on their new album.
Originally written as part of an early songwriting session for Elemental, ‘Take My Hand’ puts Louis TM front and centre on vocals and keys. After spending over 15 years as a working musician across Australasia, his reputation as a vocalist is quickly growing on the back of performances like this. With a backing chorus provided by AJA, RIIKI REID, Taylah and TAWAZ, ‘Take My Hand’ captures a neo-soul sound, driven by strong vocal performances alongside Louis TM‘s keys, all combining to create a track a welcome addition to the Fly My Pretties catalogue.
Set for release on May 16, Elemental sees Fly My Pretties exploring a range of fundamental human, spiritual and natural elements through waiata. The resulting project is a collection of songs dripping in soul and blues, performed by an all-star band and a collection of incredible vocalists. Written and recorded over one week at the world-class facilities of Wellington’s Massey University, the new album represents a step in an exciting new direction for Fly My Pretties, while still maintaining the unexpected nature fans have come to expect.
