Judy Duff records her second track with us for the brand new "Northern Soul 2008" album with the fabulous "No More Second Chances". This lovely lady is the lead singer of a Birmingham Soul Band called The Nu Soul Generation. They are an explosive, dynamic, high-energy, high-calibre solid soul sound experience -- Tight vocals, sublime horns and pulsating rhythm section, who take you on a ride on a breath-taking journey from 60's & 70's Motown and Atlantic, through to 80's - 00's Disco & Soul. Formed from a collective of professional soul musicians, each with many years' band and performance experience behind them. Masters of their instruments, and bringing a fresh feel to the tried and tested covers of classic Soul and Disco songs, the tight rhythm and horn section explodes into a scintillating floor-filling frenzy from the very outset of their opening musical bars. Lead vocalist, Judy Duff, has worked with esteemed UK soul and contemporary music artists, and is a sought after session singer. Delivering a powerful stage and vocal mix means that their many gigs are a complete success. The repertoire consists primarily of classic and contemporary soul music, Tamla Motown, Stax and funk covers. One of the hottest 9-piece soul bands in the entire country, performing a sublime cocktail of soul, funk and disco floor fillers. A Cool band with a fresh and vibrant feel. And Judy was so in tune with the music I was making that she'd been buying my albums and wanted to be a part of my previous album, "Yesterday And Tomorrow", an album of new versions of my old classic songs, and what a happy turn of fate that she contacted me at just the right time to be the proud performer of the classic Evelyn Thomas hit, "Weak Spot". For the new album, we wrote a great new song together, in classic Blackpool Mecca style during its seventies Philly period, together with my long time producing partner Clive Scott. So yes, this is the absolute first time premiere of another track which I am exclusively unveiling here on YouTube, from the recent album, "Northern Soul 2008", which was just released on June 30th, 2008. It is true to say that I have tried many times in my life to capture that quintessence of what makes a Northern Soul record actually work on the dancefloor, and with records like Sidney Barnes "Standing On Solid Ground" and Chuck Jackson "All Over The World", I certainly hit a popular chord. But this time I have never been more artistically satisfied. Everything about this wonderful new song suggests the magic and energy of the era that I fell in love with as a teenager. Forget the purists - this one has it all. If you can keep your feet still while listening to this, then you must be a country and western fan or something. The new album, "Northern Soul 2008" was released on June 30th on Centre City Records, distributed once again by Passion Music and Pinnacle, and available to pre-order through the new website, http://www.ianlevine.co.uk This new Northern Soul album is a sequel to our album from last year, "Northern Soul 2007" which was the very first release on Centre City Records. The new album consists of twenty four brand new 2008 songs by soul and disco legends. Each song has an accompanying video of the artist basically performing it the studio and in outside locations, and the DVD has four extra bonus tracks too. 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.
