UMA BRING ME THE MOUNTAIN (FEAT. LUCY LU)

Maintaining the reputation that anything they touch is almost certainly worth checking out, SLOW DANCE signing Uma has revealed a beautifully laid-back new track featuring Lucy Lu. Sprawling over a rippling backdrop of vibrato-laden guitars and pulsating synthesizers, the pair's velvety smooth vocals relax over the gently throbbing soundscape. Carefully introducing rhythmic electronic loops that build, intensify and accent the piece, 'Bring Me The Mountain' is a beautifully complex slow-burner that encapsulates a sense of peace and acceptance. Adding a personal touch via her Facebook page, Uma comments: "Luke and I wrote this song during confinement. I never thought we’d be in the same place for long enough. I never thought we’d live through a pandemic, watch the world go mad, have to fight for what is right again (and again), through the fear, despite the violence of thousands of years of oppressive systems, feel infinitely connected and lonely at the same time. This has been one of the strangest and hardest and my heart goes out to you, I hope you are taking care of yourself." Check it out here now. -Holly Mullineaux
