Vanessa Haynes - Reap What You Sow

Vanessa Haynes excels once again with this song, "Reap What You Sow", which is one of the key songs from our album, "Northern Soul 2007", which we released last September on Centre City Records and is still available to buy. There are still some small minded people who call themselves fans of Northern Soul who refuse to accept that anybody can make a new record that sounds like the real thing. Well if this isn't Northern Soul, then I'm a country and western singer from Outer Mongolia. This to me is the real McCoy, and I am so proud and excited with it. On September 3rd 2007, we finally released my utterly fabulous exciting new album called "Northern Soul 2007", distributed by Expansion Records and Passion Music. This new album consisted of twenty four brand new 2007 songs by soul and disco legends, including Leee John, Gee Morris, The Flirtations, Voices With Soul, Ebony Alleyne, Noel McKoy, and lots of others. Each song has an accompanying video of the artist basically performing it the studio and in outside locations. Because a lot of my fans on MySpace and YouTube have been begging me to do this, I decided to get up and make it happen, so there is a giveaway DVD with the CD showing the same twenty-some songs, all being performed in the same running order as the CD. The work that we have all put into this project is quite staggering, and I hope it will break down the barriers between the older Northern Soul stalwarts and a new generation who need younger acts who still produce the same vibe we all witnessed forty years ago for Motown's glory years. Play the CD, watch the DVD, and give new Northern Soul a chance this time. And then just look at this video. She stuns and she's so so so right for the part, and what a voice - Aretha meets Brenda Holloway, with a touch of Loleatta thrown in. And the outfits - so fabulous and so Sixties. Vanessa's first song for us, "Leaving The Scene Of The Crime", came hot on the heels of the Voices With Soul video getting nearly fifty thousand views so far, because, as proud as I was of all twenty four tracks, and as excited as I was with that whole album, that one single song says it all for me. That one song made me stick two fingers up at all those Soul Police who think they own the phrase "Northern Soul". And now this one makes Vanessa Haynes stand out once again, with "Reap What You Sow". Vanessa comes originally from Trinidad and Tobago, but is as real a soul singer as you will ever find. I also adore her "Reflections In A Broken Mirror", which is also up here on YouTube, and can be found on my last album, "Disco 2008". And she's redoing "High Energy" for the forthcoming "Yesterday And Tomorrow" album, because there are very few singers around who can do justice to that particular jewel in my crown.

She has a voice of finest velvet and yet as strong as Kevlar. Perfect for 'Hıgh Energy'.

Another great performance from Vanessa. For someone I had never heard of 6 months ago this lady has rapidly become one of my favourite recording artists.
