After 20 years performing on stage alongside Soul Legends such as Tito Jackson, Martha Reeves, Brenda Holloway, Eddie Holman, Sister Sledge, George McCrae, The Flirtations, Alexander O'Neal and many more, Diane Shaw finally takes her turn in the spotlight and brings her own debut album set, encompassing everything she has learned from the masters, keeping that old school soul sound alive and delivering it to a new generation. Recorded as it was back in the old days, to analogue tape and with full orchestration of over thirty musicians, producing future classic soul songs with a sound that sits as well in an old soul playlist as it does on modern day commercial radio. The Album recently spent TWO WEEKS at NUMBER ONE on the UK SOUL CHARTS, affirming it's popularity among soul connoisseurs and industry critics alike.

Album Reviews 'Love, Life & Strings':

"...sounds like a lost artefact that's been languishing in Motown's vaults for 45 years... 
....Destined to be one of the best Soul LPs of 2015"
Charles Waring - Soul&Jazz&Funk.com

"...you could drop the needle on any track on offer here and come up with a winner"
Toby Walker - Soulwalking.com

"A marvellous meshing of a sophisticated vocalist with meaningful repertoire and classy arrangements"
"Shining with both the nostalgia of Motown and Philadelphia International in an impressively fresh fashion.......Shaw's bold, crisp vocal tones are beautifully unaffected"
Justin Kantor - SoulTracks.com (USA)

"..the ease with which she soars and dips, shimmers and explodes....a voice that's strong pure, gutsy and mellow.... sweet, smooth and unpretentious....the song left me speechless.."
"..an absolute gem in construction and delivery"
Sharon Davis (Motown UK, Blues & Soul, Soulmusic.com)

"A future classic......This ambitious and optimistic album has that feel good factor and deserves to be one of the Soul albums of the year."
Soul Brother Records
