Divas Got Soul

Bio :

3 times Grammy nominated Tom Glide is an internationally renowned producer, composer & arranger whose career has spanned a prodigiously successful 35 years. He has scored major successes, almost too many to mention here and, in 2009 , a s Tom Glide & The Luv Allstars , Tom assembled a veritable Who’s Who of acclaimed performers and garnered global critical acclaim for their ‘In the name of luv’ LP on Expansion
Records.

Mr Glide has continued to ride high on the international soul charts and in 2016, Tom undertook another massive project with 12 outstanding female soul artists. Entitled ‘Divas Got Soul’ , this is not a compilation – it is a collaboration between Tom and twelve performers where each track is considered and executed to
showcase & maximise their songwriting talents and vocals with Tom’s production and arranging skills complimenting the delivery of the album’s soulful content. It has been a huge undertaking and I’m sure you will agree that Tom and his Soul Divas have worked together to make something very special between them –
‘Divas Got Soul’ is a modern soul milestone.
Previously released tracks from ‘Divas Got Soul’ have included the double A side ft. Gina Carey ‘Tribute to the music’ & Nia Simmons ‘My Time (Shine)’ . With his deft musical arrangement and composition on electric bass, electric guitar & keyboards, Tom has created ethereal musical togetherness with both Gina and Nia’s grooves.
His same outstanding quality of musicality is applied to international gospel & soul singer Funmilayo Ngozi ’s summer jazz vibe ‘All I need is you’ and the combination of all three tracks will transport you to the land of eternal sunshine. The forthcoming 12” release is Tom Glide & Chidi’s ‘Old Skool Dayz’ ft. Tom’s original mix & two North Street mixes from the don, Ashley Beedle - digitally released on TGee Records in May and on
Ramrock Blue vinyl in July.

Other tracks include: Tom Glide & Tracy Hamlin ‘Strong Feelings’, Hil St Soul ‘Soul Train’, Kenya ‘True
Fantasy’, Stephanie Cooke ‘Light up the Sky’, S.E.L ‘Teach Me’. Terisa Griffin ‘Magic (Spell On Me)’and
Candace Woodson ‘Where You Are’.

Tom Glide has assembled a stellar cast of lady vocalists for this 12 track project, ‘Divas Got Soul’. Tracy Hamlin shines on the JB influenced funker ‘Strong Feelings’, Hil St Soul graces the jazzy dancer ‘Soul Train’ while the silky smooth ‘True Fantasy’ sees Kenya’s sweet tones wrap ‘round the infectious groove. Stephanie Sims, Terisa Griffin and Soulful Emma Louise excel on uptempo, soulful house numbers, Chidi is paired perfectly with the laid back ‘Old School Days’, Gina Carey brings out the best in the sassy, swaggering ‘Tribute To The Music’, while Nia Simmons and Funmilayo NGozi complete this insane line up of talent. Hugely recommended – impeccable vocal performances, infectious grooves and a timeless feel to this set make it essential for new soul fans.
