Diplomats of Solid Sound are funky professors of jazz who have the sound of early R&B soul coursing through their veins – think Stax and Motown, Famous Flames funk – and you hear it on every recording.

Lyrics:
Twenty-nine
Out here aging like a fine wine
Wit steady creeping up the incline
Free of all my worries
And then he caught me
Out here hanging with my homies
Came at me so correctly
And we've been rollin' ever since

I think I love you 
I think think I love you I do ooo
ooo ooo
Why are we playing
Why are are we playing cuz you do

Butterflies
Every time I'm with you all my time flies
No need to read between the lines
Cause everything here makes sense
It makes sense! It makes sense! It makes sense, yes!

I think I love you 
I think think I love you I do ooo
ooo ooo
Why are we playing
Why are are we playing cuz you do too

I think I love you 
I think think I love you I do ooo
ooo ooo
Why are we playing
Why are are we playing cuz you do

I Think I Love You

Sound of Sinning

Too Long

“Itʼs About Time,” a long overdue full-length album from Atlantaʼs Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics brings on an arsenal of soulful original music and poignantlyrics. The album features 10 original songs chiming in at just over 40 minutes in length, recorded on 1/2ʼʼ 8 track tape by producer and keyboardist Spencer Garn.  Fronting the 7 piece powerhouse band is Ruby Velle, a Canadian born little lady of southern influence and East Indian decent, whose voice and appearance often surprise people when they hear and see her live for the first time.

Leading the pack is “My Dear,” a powerful back-beat soul groove that sets the tone for the record and teases the listener to hear more. Then the track “Medicine Spoon” drops into a fast paced funky drumbeat, perfect for sampling as the genre known for. Through out the album there are medium and fast paced songs with tasteful horn arrangements and full string ensembles featured on “The Agenda” and “Mr. Wrong.” Itʻs About Time the bandʼs foray into political commentary, offers an epic and enormous sound mixed with meaningful, timely lyrics. 

Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics' roots are embedded in the rich sound and history of Georgia soul, beginning with the early 50's and 60's R&B that became so well known around the world. Having performed countless gigs since their inception, and with a slew of 45rpm singles already under their belts, the band has already contributed heavily to the steadily increasing awareness of genuine rhythm and blues music that exists today. They pack clubs and festivals with their original brand of soul, all of which is written and recorded in Atlanta.
