Dear reader, it has been 4 months since my last confession. Please forgive me.

Since the last posting lots have happened. LOTS!  But the one thing I’m most excited about is being approached to head up the PR for an Independent Soul label called SI Records. Shakespeare said: “
If music be the food of love, play on”, and oh boy has this album been on repeat in the office…and at home!

Soul Independence: Liberated



SOUL:
{noun} the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being, regarded as immortal.
INDEPENDENCE: {noun} freedom from outside control or support.
LIBERATED: {Adjective} free from social conventions or traditional ideas.





Soul Independence Records have complied another amazing collection of music inspired and spurred on by the popularity and demand of the first edition; coupled with the discovery of new and emerging artists with a high calibre of musical artistry enthusiastic to showcase their material on this influential independent soul label. This CD includes rare and previously unreleased material from Honey Larochelle, The House of Opaz, Melodie Nicholson, Nathaniel, Darrius, Ebony Marks and Grammy Award Nominated Syleena Johnson with Syl Johnson’s legendary band.
The latest edition comes full of musical and talented surprises with many tracks on CD format for the first time. Lovingly put together with the music connoisseur in mind, Soul Independence: Liberated, is a music lover’s dream, packed with a *handpicked selection of gems from the likes of Slakah The Beatchild, Noel Gourdin and Kendra Cash.
