“Soulive transforms
sounds of the past into a potent modern mix.”
—The Los Angeles Times
Further establishing their status as one of the preeminent soul/funk
groups in music today, Soulive joins
the famed Memphis soul label, Stax Records. The band’s Stax debut, No Place Like Soul, is out
now! The album marks the inaugural release by one of the label’s trio of newly signed artists, which
also includes Angie Stone and Isaac Hayes.
With the new addition of Toussaint, a vocalist who has spent
the past several years touring with his reggae outfit The China Band, No Place Like Soul is the
first Soulive albu
m with a full-time vocalist and is the first that the band has recorded as a
quartet since forming in 1999. Expanding upon the beat-driven instrumentals of 2005’s Break
Out, No Place Like Soul combines Toussaint’s vocals with rich soul grooves that
call to mind the band’s legendary Stax predecessors. The album features 13 new tracks including
standouts like the gospel-tinged “Waterfall,” the reggaefied hip-hop of “If This World Were A Song” and
“Mary,” a laidback acoustic soul tune that should soundtrack backyard barbecues all summer long.”
No Place Like Soul is produced by Stewart Lerman who has worked with such disparate talents
as Loudon Wainwright III, Dar Williams and Vinicius Cantuaria.
“I’m so excited,” the drummer says of the band’s affiliation with the
Stax. “When I get the final version of the album with the Stax logo on it and everything, that’ll be a huge
accomplishment for me. Back in the day, everyone on Stax had their own thing: Isaac Hayes, Otis
Redding, the Bar-Kays, Carla Thomas—they were real individuals. There’s character in that music, and
we’re ecstatic to be doing our thing as a part of that lineage.”
