Pratt & Moody / Cold Diamond & Mink- Hard Way To Live/You Bring Me Joy (PREORDER)
Pratt & Moody return with a new 7" single on Timmion Records, pairing "Hard Way To Live" with "You Bring Me Joy" - two deep diving soul cuts that reaffirm their place among the true pioneers of the modern sweet & beat soul revival. Written and recorded together with Timmion's trusted house band Cold Diamond & Mink, the single continues a lineage that has consistently blurred the line between contemporary songwriting and timeless soul aesthetics. The A-side, "Hard Way To Live," finds Pratt & Moody firmly in their beat ballad lane. Built on a warm, funky foundation, the song balances emotional weight with melodic lift, as it's chorus opens into crossover soul-pop territory. Lyrically, it wrestles with life-earned scars and the quiet difficulty of letting go of pain that they cause - the feeling of keeping on running even after you've spent the last of what you had. "On the flip, "You Bring Me Joy" unfolds like a slow-burning David Lynch scene, it's dramatic crawl evoking soundtrack soul before bursting into a Stax-era Staple Singers inspired chorus. Tremolo- soaked guitar lines nod to classic dark surf music, while Emilia Sisco's gospel-tinged background vocals nod to Mavis Staples, elevating the track into full emotional bloom. Together, these two songs offer a vivid preview of Pratt & Moody's upcoming album - a deeper plunge into soulful storytelling, their tried and tested lowrider soul chops, and modern clarity, soon to follow on Timmion Records.
