Soulnaturals ‘Love Says Yes!’ (British Soul Standard)

‘Love Says Yes!’ is a giant platter of every kind of groovy Soul music courtesy of London’s funky outfit, Soulnaturals. Kicking off the album is the wildly energetic single, ‘You Make Me Feel Like I Can Change The World’, featuring Kylie Auldist (of ‘This Girl fame). More single’s set to be unleashed include the Reggae charged ‘Oh Lord, When Will You Free Me’, featuring stunning Portuguese singer Nadia Pimentel and ‘I Got Sunshine (Enough For The World)’ featuring feel-good Sun-drenched vibes from Jo Kelsey.  The funky groover ‘I Am The Lost That Do Not Want To Be Found’ sees hip Soulnaturals band leader Tony Cannam take to the mic and waxing lyrical. Laid back, sunshine vibes are aplenty as Davinia Vincent lays her warm soul-sista tones over a jazzy soundtrack on ‘Gotta Get My Hands On Some Good Loving’. This is followed by the bluesy funk-filled groove of ‘I Need A Piece Of Sunshine’, featuring the irresistible voice of The Soul Immigrants frontman, Emrys Baird, who also delivers a spine tingling lead on ‘Moody Judy’. Reggae / Ska music legend, Dave Barker makes an appearance on the classic Soul flavoured ‘Let Freedom Ring’. The oh-so-funky ‘A Room Full Of James Browns’ features the distinctive voice of top Brit-Soul singer, Danny Toeman. Closing out ‘Love Says Yes!’ is the heart-wrenching slow jam, ‘My Love For You Is Not Of This Earth’, where Bre-Antonia’s emotional vocal radiates beauty. If raw Soul power is your thing, then look no further!
