SWEET SOUL RECORDS RELEASES WORLD SOUL COLLECTIVE VOL. 1

With this latest release, Sweet Soul Records again demonstrates their total commitment to bringing soul music listeners good quality music. This compilation covers a range of musical styles like soul, neo-soul, jazzy soul, R&B, and funk, with all songs easily fitting into the “organic music” description.

“Since the release of our “Soul Over The Race” series, which have gone on to achieve both domestic and international popularity, we have been fortunate enough to garner attention from some very talented independent artists from numerous different countries. By having the opportunity to release top international soul artists here in Japan, we have been able to carefully select and compile some of the best independent soul music on offer and include that music on “World Soul Collective Vol.1.” This compilation covers a range of musical styles like soul, neo-soul, jazzy soul, R&B, and funk, with the pre-release response being overwhelmingly positive.” says Michael Harris, Senior Manager at Sweet Soul Records.

Also included on this release is the track “Make the Change,” the first original music recorded by Sweet Soul Records and sung by Nao Yoshioka, the very talented Japanese soul singer who placed second at the Apollo Amateur Night competition in May 2011. Nao joins a number of talented independent soul artists and musicians from the US, Mexico, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. Tracks include “Who’s In the Mirror” by Nik West; “Imagine” by Jeremy James; “ This Time” ORLY; and “The Best Is Yet to Come “ by Mr President.
