Good Soul music is where you find it. Today's featured track is flying the flag for French contemporary Soul. If you like your vibes rare, hard to find and with a great groove to make dance floors heave then bee-line to Swade. She is the female vocalist NOT the hip-hop rapper. I wish I could tell you something about her other than she records in France in English but I can't. Sometimes it's maybe better not to know too much about the artist as it may tend to be prejudicial. Having managed to acquire her albums I feel fortunate and can tell you this is real deal contemporary flava 'propa modern' Soul. The albums are superb. I will endeavour to feature more of her work in the future. Hopeful by then someone may be able to provide a bio for the good lady. Only Wanna Give is taken from her first album Back to the Funk (2007). Swade has released two subsequent albums: My Name Is Swade (2008) and Thomas G & Swade (2012). The first two are now out of circulations as CDs and unless you get lucky with second hand sources they are likely to be very hard to find. The last release is rumoured to have also been available as vinyl but in all honesty I've not encountered any info about this. OK. Enough. You can have a choice aujourd'hui. Listen to the youtube video (album photo link) or go to her Myspace link below that and hear this and other tracks.
