True North unveils a powerful new track, "On a Prayer with a Broken Wing," an uplifting genre-defying release that solidifies the Auckland-based project as one of New Zealand's most poignant voices in music. Led by songwriter/musician Tones Thorburn, True North lays down a blend of rock, soul, and gospel-influenced music that is truly its own.
This release features a lineup of New Zealand musicians. Thorburn's soul-stirring voice takes center stage, accompanied by beautiful soundscapes crafted by keyboardist and organist Matthias Jordan, drummer and percussionist Milan Borich, and bassist/guitarist/backing-vocalists Ben King, who also produced it, providing a sense of spirit and an intimate atmosphere. Sandy Mill's sensual vocals throughout the composition, and Greg Johnson's trumpet & Lewis McCallum's Sax bring a touch of memories/cocktail effect to the table. The professional finish of the track is provided by Waygate Studio in Portland, USA.
"On a Prayer with a Broken Wing" is an inspiring, soulful gem that captures the pain of hardship, whether in a failing relationship or the unspoken battles we face day to day, while always offering a running river of hope with each note. The song is about how, even though life has its broken parts, love and faith will carry you on.
True North has created a piece that deeply connects through its gospel-like harmonies and rock-soul beat, reminding us that healing often begins when everything is unsure. This stunning new single positions True North as an exciting discovery for music lovers seeking substance, authenticity, and emotional honesty.
