Gina Foster - Look Love Right In The Face

Gina Foster sings "Look Love Right In The Face" for our brand new wonderful album, "Northern Soul 2010", which is released in September 2010, the latest in the ongoing series on Centre City Records. It includes a bonus DVD with all 24 tracks of the CD plus 4 extra tracks. At a time when the UK is abuzz with the new feature film "Soul Boy", set against a backdrop of the 1970s Northern Soul Scene, this amazing new album brings the Northern Soul sound into the "here and now" with a fresh vibrancy - music which still holds the spirit and feel of the records heard at legendary clubs like the Wigan Casino and the Blackpool Mecca. It features brand new songs from established names famous on the rare soul dancefloors of the UK, stalwart legends like Sidney Barnes, Clem Curtis, Jimmy Thomas, Moon Williams, Jimmy James, D.C. Larue, and Ronnie Walker, and also presents new talent including Fay Jones, Nat Augustin, Lyn Jerrard, and Tahira Jumah. Ever since Sidney Barnes' "Standing On Solid Ground" crossed over to dancefloors everywhere that embrace Northern Soul, these new albums stick two fingers up to the retentive purists, and celebrate the joy and optimism of the best musical form ever created, free from bias and blinkered and sad individuals who won't even listen to a record if it isn't forty years old and sold over a hundred copies when first released. Last year, after my songwriting partner Clive Scott died after a terrible accident, Gina put words to his last piece of music and created a sad sad but beautiful mellow song, "My World Will Never Be The Same", which was our follow up to Gina's wonderful "Love In Overdrive", her second song for our previous album, "Soul Steppers", along with the duet with Peter Lamarr, called "Miracles". Gina has been making records for many years, and has been a major part of the group, Swing Out Sister, and is a skilled and consummately professional backing singer, recently performing with Tom Jones. Her recent Expansion single, "B-Side Of Love" set the Modern-Room dancefloors alight. The duet that we recorded with Peter Lamarr, "Miracles", was originally for Benjamin Barnes, back in 2003, and Ben and I co-wrote that fabulous smooth uplifting future soul classic with my long time producing partner Clive Scott. That was before he became world famous starring as Prince Caspian in "The Chronicles Of Narnia", so I decided to make it as a duet with Peter and Gina. It was intended to be a bonus track, as the solo song, "Love In Overdrive", was Gina's main song for the album, but everyone fell in love with it instantly, so we had to include it as well, in pride of place, hoping it wouldn't overshadow Gina's utterly beautiful solo track "Love In Overdrive". But nothing could touch the heart rending poignancy of "My World Will Never Be The Same". However, the new song, "Look Love Right In The Face", is just about the perfect Northern Soul anthem.
