This album reaches the world, in our eyes, at a critical juncture for the collective consciousness. From anything perilous comes strength, resilience, reverence … and this album is a snapshot of that journey for us all.
As a band, we believe that all these journeys are connected through one love. With this idea we set out to create a sophomore effort that sparked our passion and excitement for the Southern fabric of our genre while also being a conduit for music as “The Great Unifier”. We worked incredibly hard to make our own unique statement within this genre, with respect to the greats before us. I hope the listener really feels this channeling of a time when music provided all answers to the division of humankind. I cannot wait to share these tunes live with the world in the coming years.

What A Girl Wants

On a writing trip to London I told Phil Thornally, a fellow Beatles Super fan, that I always wanted to write a song that equated losing half of myself in a heartbreak with losing half of the Beatles. His eyes lit up. A couple of weeks after I returned home I received an mp3. I didn't want to listen to it because I couldn't imagine that any piece of music would be good enough but of course I listened. And...it was perfect. I didn't take the headphones off until every word was written.

Notebook

The Half Dozen

Deep, raw funk. Stax-style Southern soul. Uplifting Motown-channeling anthems. 
Atlanta’s Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics are the heirs to the thrones of the old-school masters. But they’re much more than just a group of revivalists trying to create a period piece. Powerhouse singer Velle and her band will settle for nothing less than bringing these classic sounds glimmering into the now with a fresh new modern sheen.
        
Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics have made a name for themselves captivating audiences with their stirring live performances. They’re a world-class modern soul revue topped off with the cherry of Velle’s sultry voice, as she deftly toggles between sweetly crooned R&B tunes and expertly belted barn-burning get-downs that can instantly jolt a roomful of wallflowers into a wild dance party.
        
It’s this inviting and accessible bravado that has scored the band critical acclaim from outlets such as The New York Daily News, MTV, Paste and more. And in addition to their critical success, at a time when record sales are at an all-time industry low, the independent, DIY-minded Velle and the Soulphonics sold a quarter-million downloads of their single “My Dear” on iTunes, landing them in the top 30 on Billboard’s Heatseeker charts and at a stunning #4 on the iTunes R&B charts when their debut album It’s About Time was released in 2012. The group has shared bills with megastars and indie press darlings alike, including Larkin Poe, The Temptations, Erykah Badu, The XX, Goodie Mob, Gary Clark Jr., Animal Collective, Feist and Kendrick Lamar.
        
And they continue to blaze a trail into the hearts of music fans with their new single, "Broken Woman," from their sophomore album which was released in the Fall of 2017 and immediately appeared on Spotify's Official "Still Got the Blues" playlist. They followed that up with "Call Out My Name" releasing on Bitter Southerner. Their new albums tittle track "State of All Things" premiered on PASTE Magazine as the LP arrived in stores globally on 4/27/2018 on vinyl- in a time where music is streamed, the LP’s first pressing sold out in less than 2 months. Stay tuned for more from Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics!
