Canal Voyage – The Sound of Philadelphia Sessions
(Collective of Sound featuring The Soulwave Gospel Collective, The Sigma Strings & Théo Marenne)

Après California et Between Words, le collectif Canal Voyage signe avec The Sound of Philadelphia Sessions un vibrant hommage à la soul orchestrale des années 70.
Entre grooves feutrés, cordes somptueuses et voix habitées, l’album explore la magie intemporelle du Philadelphia Sound — celle des MFSB, des O’Jays ou de Billy Paul — à travers douze titres originaux produits et mixés au Studio N’zo Habay.

De l’ouverture instrumentale “Soultrain Overture” à la chaleur du final “Sur des musiques Philly”, chaque morceau tisse un lien entre émotion, élégance et authenticité.
Les voix du Soulwave Gospel Collective, le saxophone de Théo Marenne et les cordes du Sigma Strings insufflent à ce voyage une âme vivante, sensible, profondément humaine.

Un album comme un film sonore : lumineux, orchestral, et infiniment sincère.

Following California and Between Words, Canal Voyage delivers The Sound of Philadelphia Sessions — a heartfelt tribute to the lush, soulful elegance of the 1970s Philadelphia sound.
Warm grooves, orchestral strings, gospel harmonies and smooth brass come together in twelve tracks produced and mixed at Studio N’zo Habay, blending vintage emotion with modern finesse.

From the cinematic opener “Soultrain Overture” to the warm closing tribute “Sur des musiques Philly”, the album flows like a musical journey through love, groove, and timeless beauty.
Featuring The Soulwave Gospel Collective, Théo Marenne on saxophone, and The Sigma Strings, this record captures the very soul of Canal Voyage — rich, emotional and undeniably human.

A late-night moment where everything slows down and the world fades into the background. This track captures the quiet magic of being close to someone when words aren’t needed—just shared warmth, steady heartbeats, and the comfort of knowing this feeling is real. Wrapped in nostalgic romance, it feels like holding onto a fleeting night and wishing it could last just a little longer.

Ein Moment tief in der Nacht, in dem alles langsamer wird und die Welt leise verschwindet. Dieser Song fängt die stille Magie ein, wenn Nähe mehr sagt als Worte – geteilte Wärme, ruhige Herzschläge und das sichere Gefühl, dass dieser Augenblick echt ist. Getragen von nostalgischer Romantik ist es das Verlangen, diese eine Nacht festzuhalten und sie nicht vorbeiziehen zu lassen.

Stay With Me Tonight

Streetlights flicker, your hand in mine
The world fades out, we stop in time
You smile like summer in the rain
Damn, it’s good to feel again

Stay with me tonight
Hold me in the quiet light
Don’t need words, just this sound
Your heartbeat is my solid ground

Your voice, a whisper in the dark
Soft as the flame that lit the spark
No need to run, no need to hide
Just let the silence be our guide

Stay with me tonight
Hold me in the quiet light
Don’t need words, just this sound
Your heartbeat is my solid ground

And if the morning steals the dream
Promise me you’ll still believe

Stay with me tonight
While the stars are burning bright
This moment, pure and true
All I need tonight is you


You Put It on My Mind

Mike James Kirkland
