The UK SOUL MESSENGERS are both an offshoot of or the precursor to the fantastic SouLutions… undecided which, however they’re the creation of Steve Lee -one half of the Geordie band. Steve alongside John Anderson, Anthony Keenan and John Walker make up the Soul Messengers and we’re advised that the quartet has labored with one another off and one for one thing like 25 years. Between them they have been in North East bands just like the Distant Voices, Combine, Perception, La Liberte and the Skiptracers and now the Soul Messengers.
It was simply twelve months in the past that we loved their ‘Be Proper Right here’ single –a form of “psychedelic” soul Temptations sound. Since then nothing – I am guessing that Steve has been busy with SouLutions. However now the Soul Messengers are releasing an entire album… this very week in reality!
The ten tracker known as ‘Darkish Soul’ and from the little we have heard it is shaping as much as be a basic Brit, trendy soul set with the general sonic template not 1,000,000 miles away from the well-loved SouLutions sound. Tunes like ‘Do not Tear Your Coronary heart Out’ and ‘This Is For Actual’ are candy and clean and filled with catchy hooks and delicate harmonies. There’s additionally a model of William DeVaughn’s basic ‘Be Grateful’.
