Princess Freesia - Return To Pleasure (2022)

From the pop-soul of Motown to the underground sounds of what became the UK’s northern soul scene. From the soulful sounds of Scott Walker to the soul-influenced songs of Burt Bacharach. And also some of the rarer soul/garage records.

The core sound of guitars, piano, bass and drums is often augmented with strings, brass, backing vocals and, occasionally, the odd orchestra. Tambourines and vibraphone enhance the tracks giving a courtious nod to a past era but with Edgar’s voice, always front and centre, placing the songs firmly in the present.
