Good soul, with attractive touches of rhythm & blues and gospel, performed with conviction and passion by Marcel Smith’s intense well-pitched voice, a singer and guitar player gifted with a great technique. With this album, he confirms his quality as a musician, something that will immediately catch most listeners.
Marcel’s seductive voice walks majestically through twelve songs and a bonus track, half of them Marcel Smith’s own compositions, driving us to those glamorous clubs and discos where soul was the king during sixties and seventies golden age. But Marcel also knows how to give to the songs a very actual air, in order to convince new audiences and generations and make them be caught by the essence of this unique style.
Marcel Smith has counted with a cast of magnificent musicians like Derrick “D’Mar” Martin on drums, Endre Tarczy on bass, Jim Pugh on piano and organ, Kid Andersen on guitar, Rick Estrin on harmonica, an impressive horn section, the voices of Lisa Leuschner Andersen and The Sons Of The Soul Revivers or Johnny Rawls, this last one on a couple of songs.
With this album, Marcel Smith introduces himself to the international black music lovers, as one of the most charismatic voices in the soul scene. Find out by yourself.
