Davinah Edwards - Out Of The Shadows

We proudly bring you, here on You-Tube, the premiere of a totally brand new song, from our brand new album, "Soul Steppers" - due for release in late February 2009. A delectable new album of "Modern-Room" style Northern Soul. Classic retro soul, owing more homage to Gamble and Huff and the sound of Philadelphia and the mid 1970s rhythms, than to the usual Sixties style. Midtempo and Uptempo soulful sizzlers to warm the embers of your heart, and take your feet totally out of control. Just as the legendary Blackpool Mecca building gets pulled down, the "Soul Steppers" album shows that they can pull down the building but they can never take away our music. And in this recession, in times of darkness and uncertainty, as the opening track gloriously proclaims - "I know there's better times ahead for us". Onward to a brighter day. Music can lift us and make us forget what the world has to throw at us, and this album is designed to do just that. The new album has songs by Rosetta Hightower, Noel McKoy, Odette Adams, Tahira Jumah, Jay Harvey, Pearly Gates, The Flirtations, Janine Johnson, Michael Lloyd Pinq, Kitty Corbin, Judy Duff, The Concentrations, Jimmy James, and a few major surprises. Here, Davinah Edwards sings "Out Of The Shadows" and I wrote this song to show that ever since Sam Cooke sang "A Change Is Gonna Come", and Martin Luther King proclaimed "I Have A Dream", that the world has actually changed for the better, and now a black man is the President of the USA. To look at Davinah, you would never imagine that such a strong and powerful gospel voice could come from someone with such a petite frame! A trained and accomplished dancer, songwriter and singer, her R&B background and success has already made her popular and here she shines on this midtempo soul floater. Davinah was recommended to Centre City by Jay Harvey. And the new album, for the first time, is being distributed by Wienerworld, who have put out all our Northern Soul DVDs, and this time we look certain to get it sold in all the remaining major record shops around the country. And remember the whole theme of this special album - "I know there's better times ahead for us".

What a great natural voice.

A beautiful song and an excellent singer. Davinah reminds me a lot of Ebony Alleyne vocally whom I'm very pleased to see appearing on the new album as well.

Ian you´re the man. One more reason to buy this record. I´m a little vinyl junkie so my question is: what format will this record be? Double LP? 33 or 45 rpm? Wow what a beautiful song.
