#soul #disco

Australian vocalist extraordinaire Kylie Auldist will be no stranger to soul & funk fans, her searing soul singing having featured on her own albums 'Made Of Stone' ,'Still Life' (Tru Thoughts) also in The Bamboos, as well as Freestyle Records own Cookin' On 3 Burners.

Her unmistakable voice is currently topping the pop charts across Europe, as the Kungs remix of Cookin' On 3 Burners 'This Girl' has proven a sure fire hit with club audiences as well as pop fans. It has been playlisted on BBC Radio 1 and Capital FM, and has been Number 2 in the Official UK Chart for weeks!

For her first solo album on Freestyle, Kylie, assisted by long time friends & collaborators Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos/Lanu/CO3B/Black Feeling) and Graeme Pogson (of Aussie electronic duo GL) have honed and perfected a collection of amazing new boogie, disco & electro-funk inspired tracks that evoke the feel and sound of late 70's & early 80's club classics. Think of classic acts like D Train, Sinnamon, and singers like Chaka Khan, Maxine Singelton, Sharon Redd and you will already start to understand where this new project is rooted.

Waste Of Time, a shimmering, soulful and devilishly catchy mid tempo groover. Graeme Pogsons'synthesizer bass lines are so evocative of that era , they act like a musical time machine! This is perfect summer time soul.

Sensational (which has a fantastic video to accompany it) hits a little harder, the beats, bass line and Kylie's vocals will drive you onto the dance-floor and stay there until the very last note and begging for more. Good Time Girl doesn't let the pressure drop for a second and also features a fantastic proto-rap contribution from King Merc - whilst Family Tree is pure Saturday night, feel good disco aimed at the ears and dancing feet.

Look Away takes the tempo down to a mellow mildly introspective place, but the heavy groove still underpins some totally fantastic vocals from Kylie, who surely must now be reconsidered as one of the most soulful singers active today.

back to the glory days of the 80’s, when soul music was simply brimming with cool vibes and feel-good messages. Kylie is vocally on top form here, and we could be looking at one of THE albums of the year. - Paul Miller The Soul Show - BBC South

Absolutely killer jams! Full support! Would love to remix these! - Inkswel BBE RECORDS

Sublime! - francesco adinolfi Rai Radio1 Italy

The change of style is putting Kylie in another light. Excellent! - Monte La Rue Jazzism magazine

Kylie could sing the hide off a buffalo when she’s roused, and that’s pretty much what you find throughout these 11 cuts - and if that’s your thang, you’ll love just about everything in earshot.​ - Chris Wells Echoes magazine
