Sophye Soliveau - Initiation (Self Release)
"Soliveau is a singer, harpist and women choir director, keen collaborator and nocturnal composer with a serious knack for fusing her classical training with a deep soul sensibility that nods to the twentieth century greats, looks around at the deeper end of the nu-soul present and celebrates the increasingly forgotten blues and gospel roots of soul music. "

Psychedelic Soul and social commentary
Hi!
I’ve been enjoying music from a variety of artists who’ve created tracks with powerful social commentary that still feel strikingly relevant today. I’m particularly drawn to soul music produced by Norman Whitfield and love the Psychedelic Soul production style. Some standout tracks that come to mind that I like are The Stylistics – People Make the World Go Round, The Temptations – Zoom/Smiling Faces Sometimes, and The Philadelphia International All Stars – Let’s Clean Up the Ghetto.
I’d love your recommendations for more Psychedelic Soul type tracks with impactful social commentary. I especially enjoy tge extended Whitfield-style introductions and outros, and I’m also looking for songs with a danceable vibe, like the album version of The Meters – It Ain’t No Use.
Any tips?

Remember UK soul singer Kenny Thomas?
I found a 12" of his 1991 hit Thinking About Your Love here in Hackney, east London. Took it home & it still sounds great.
Being curious I then discovered how he made the song with Dead Or Alive, and what happened next for Kenny Thomas. Here's what I found:
