Can't say I knew anything about this lady when I first came across her album Bring Back The Love (2011). It's only when I came across a video interview on youtube (see link below) that I managed to glean quite a good deal. Born in Zambia Hilz (Mwela) has lived in the UK for most of her life. She is a university music graduated who admits to Aretha Franklin being her most important influence. Steeped in old skool Soul influences her album is certainly an eclectic mix coupled to a powerful vocal style. You can understand where she's coming from mentioning Aretha Franklin. Today's choice feature track is taken from her debut album and is a real up tempo choon just made for dancers. So all you Mr. Dj's out there take the hint, pin your ears back for this very little known spin and tell me it's not good enough for your set if you dare. For those of us who love to listen to cracking good Soul then this is definitely one for the collection. Not to be overlooked.
