Keep your eyes on The Prize
The Prize is the second single from our 3rd album Aphelion, a tribute to the great visionary author Lorraine Hansberry. It is rather special being the last track we worked on with people in a room together only weeks before the COVID pandemic hit and the first song we have ever made with a main vocal singing a top line throughout.
Together again with Lorraine Hansberry we are encouraging everyone to exercise as much empathy and critical thinking as possible going forward. We hope to instil a little more hope and determination in listeners to get through these tough times together and build a better future beyond. The line ‘keep your eyes on the prize’ echoes a phrase used during the Civil Rights Movement that was etched into my own psyche growing up. Affirmations can be rather powerful when you need them to be.

Press
“Yorkshire’s Fold are an intoxicating musical blend of funk, jazz, soul, and passionate voices for social change, with something of metal music’s bass driven heaviness and sense of disturbing the present equilibrium. The new single The Prize epitomises this and more.“
“Enter The Prize with its funky groove, positive conscious message and exhortation for people to ‘Lift your head from the sand.’ The PR for this one originally claimed it sounded like a cross between War and the jazzier side of Black Sabbath with shades of David Axelrod though as the monkey has already pointed out, it sounds rather more like early Stone Roses (aided and abetted by a Brown-esque vocal from the band’s Seth Moshowitz) which can’t be a bad thing.”
