Pre-sale of the week is Soul Of A Woman<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings<\/strong>, out on 17 November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Sharon<\/a><\/p>\n

In the year prior to her death from pancreatic cancer in 2016, Sharon Jones<\/strong> toured and performed tirelessly, and was also the subject of Miss Sharon Jones!<\/em>, an acclaimed documentary by Oscar-winning director Barbara Kopple. Yet somehow, the beloved, heroic soul singer found time to complete a studio album.<\/p>\n

The eleven songs on Soul Of A Woman<\/em><\/strong> reveal that the emotion, dynamics and drama of Jones\u2019 voice remained at full power until her final days. The songs on the album exemplify two distinct sides of the band\u2019s sound. Side One showcases grittier, bluesier material like \u2018Matter Of Time\u2019 and \u2018Sail On!\u2019, which give Sharon the room to flex her vocal prowess and creating a \u2018liveness\u2019 that few studio albums possess. Side Two presents a more sophisticated orchestral mood: tracks like \u2018When I Saw Your Face\u2019 and \u2018These Tears (No Longer For You)\u2019 capture a soft vulnerability in Sharon\u2019s vocals that draws you deep inside, and yet they remain nuanced with the signature toughness that never allows you to forget she\u2019s steering the ship.<\/p>\n

The finished product is an album that captures a band and a singer at their peak.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/em> the LP is on indies-only red vinyl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re offering Soul Of A Woman<\/em> at special pre-sale prices<\/strong>, which won\u2019t be available after release. Click here<\/a> for more details and to order your copy.<\/p>\n
