Riley & The Urban Revival tap into soul strength on latest release “Promised Land”

Riley & The Urban Revival’s latest release, “Promised Land” is sung with the kind of confidence that only musicians who know the power of restraint and groove can deliver. From the first moments, the rich bassline, expressive saxophone, and sharp drumming create an inviting, soulful, and uplifting atmosphere. But the highlight is the voice, with all its warmth and conviction, and astonishing control, lifting every lyric. The song breathes naturally as each instrument plays off the next, rather than drowning the arrangement. “Promised Land” is a tight, sincere release that sticks with the listener.
