Soul-funk aspirations and a live band arrangement back up empowering sentiments and smooth, stylish vocals from the late and great Lael Summer – The Lael Project delivers a classic but fresh fusion of traits, for the timeless new single It’s About Soul.
Designed to empower female listeners with its seamless blend of vulnerability, confidence, wit, and unrivalled authenticity, It’s About Soul leads with the listing lyrical style of artists like Nina Simone, but weaves in a more cabaret and contemporary performance that naturally suits the pop-funk essence of the arrangement.
As things progress, the mid-section delivers a Gospel-style moment of harmonised, impassioned vocal collaboration, and helps reinforce the uplifting, energising and smile-inducing power at the heart of the song.
Renowned for their work with a multitude of mental health charities like The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, The Lael Project continue to promise inspiring, optimistic artistic work, and this revision of Lael Summer’s It’s About Soul reminds us to feel present and powerful in the world, and celebrates the short life of a soulful artist who sadly died by suicide at just 24 years old.
With an anthemic crescendo that’s unrivalled in its might, It’s About Soul lives on in both the mind and mood after listening.
