Soul Love 2014 is out on 5th May 2014.
Formats: 25 track digital album // 14 track cd sampler // 2 x 7" vinyl samplers

Five highly absorbed months of compiling later and, at last, we have the finest, truest definition of modern soul yet – Soul Love 2014. No effort has been spared in bringing this album together, all corners of the globe scoured over much of last year for 25 contemporary cuts of exquisite groove, musicianship and emotion.

Here they now are, Soul Love 2014 throwing together smooth glides, funky grinds, peppy beat- downs and whipsmart house riffs by everyone from UK scene stalwarts Omar, Caron Wheeler, Tony Momrelle and Don-E to US thoroughbreds Eric Roberson, The Foreign Exchange and Marc Evans via white-hot youngbloods like Portia Monique, Lady, Chris Turner, Eric Lau, Debra Debs and Chaz Shepherd. This collective platform for soul music’s latest generation of stars really delivers sounds on the frontier, and reinforces just how bright the future really is.

Also including a bonus DJ Mix by Brooklyn legend DJ Spinna, Soul Love 2014 is a project all about moving forward; about distinguishing itself from the overload of compilations treading the same old soul clichés by celebrating a younger, fresher, totally inspiring new line-up of music-makers. Travelling from London to LA via Philly, Stockholm to Johannesburg and even, surprisingly, the frosty climes of Helsinki (courtesy of talented hip-hop-flecked trio Dolla Lova), Soul Love 2014 is an exhilarating global showcase of what exactly makes modern soul tick.

A big-up to the soul heroes of today and tomorrow - the most comprehensive yet compiled – it reflects utterly relevant and energised song-craft able to strike deep at heart and mind.

Zo! feat. Eric Roberson - We Are On The Move

“Teddy Bear” by Shasta is a heartfelt pop-soul song about having a partner who supports you through anything — someone steady, gentle, and always there. This track captures the warmth of a love that doesn’t try to fix you, just stands with you through storms, lifts you up when you break, and brings color back into the darkest days.

In this video, Shasta walks a sunny nature trail, reflecting on the kind of love that listens, stays, and makes life feel lighter. It’s a soft, uplifting reminder that real love isn’t loud — it’s comforting, patient, and present.
