Promised Heights
Description
Promised Heights definitively establishes Cymande as a major group in the history of music. The album contains some of their most iconic and sampled tracks, including "Brothers On The Slide" and "Promised Heights." A key figure of the first wave of the Black British scene, the band refines a unique sound that blends African rhythms, funk, soul, reggae, calypso, and psychedelic jazz-funk. Recorded after their legendary American tour with Al Green, Promised Heights (1974) marks a significant artistic evolution, driven by remarkable rhythmic richness and vocal harmonies. Long underestimated, the album has gained cult status due to its lasting influence and massive sampling by DJs and hip-hop artists. After a nearly forty-year hiatus, Cymande reunited in 2013 and made a successful comeback, notably with the single "How We Roll" in 2024, followed by the album Renascence in 2025. A black vinyl reissue in 2026, essential for fans of funk, soul, and rare grooves.Buy Promised Heights at the best price
