about

Sasha & The Shades continue their rapid fire series of Autumn singles with the spirited, optimistic belter 'Wait & Pray' on October 4.
A perfect showcase for Sasha's Adamczewski's distictively, gravel-edged gospel vocals, the song comes from the rawer, blusier end of the Peckham six-piece's repertoire, nailed down by a monstrous groove courtesy of their enviously sleek rhythm section.

Recorded by Sean Reed (Dexy'sManics/Edwyn Collins) at his Famous Times studios in London, the song's message is that good things do indeed come to those who wait. “It's about not giving yourself the time to doubt yourself,” says Sasha, “and how important and difficult a part that is to the experience and journey of being a musician.”

As with each of their current run of singles, it's backed by a flipside counterpart in the spirit of an old skool seven inch release, b-siide the equally expansive and anthemic 'The Sun', which deals with a period of confusion and family problems in Sasha's life during his brother's addiction to heroin.
