Ward Thomas Captivates with New Track "This Is Gonna Hurt"

Ward Thomas, the British country-pop duo consisting of sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas, has unveiled their latest single "This Is Gonna Hurt" on January 17, 2025. This new release marks another milestone in the duo's impressive career, which began when they were teenagers growing up in rural Hampshire, England.
"This Is Gonna Hurt" features 5 tracks, including the title track and previously released singles "Patience," "Miles Don't Matter," "Quarter Life Crisis" and "Comeback Baby."
The Ward Thomas sisters have been making waves in the UK country music scene since their debut album "From Where We Stand" in 2014, which topped the UK Country Chart. Their sophomore album "Cartwheels" made history in 2016 by becoming the first album by a UK country act to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart. Their fifth studio album "Music in the Madness" released in 2022, showcased their evolving sound, blending traditional country elements with contemporary pop influences.
The musical background of Ward Thomas is deeply rooted in harmony-focused music. They grew up listening to artists like The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac, thanks to their parents who were in a band performing 60s and 70s rock classics. This early exposure to harmonious music significantly influenced their own style, which is characterized by their seamless vocal blending.
Their journey into country music began when they discovered The Chicks as teenagers, which opened up a new world of musical possibilities for them. This inspiration led them to Nashville at the age of 17, where they recorded their debut album with the help of top Music Row musicians.
Ward Thomas has consistently pushed the boundaries of country music in the UK, incorporating elements of pop and rock into their sound. Their ability to craft compelling narratives through their songwriting has been a hallmark of their work, addressing themes ranging from personal experiences to broader social issues.
