Info zu Soul Power

Curtis Harding sagt, seine Musik, die Soulmusik, spreche für sich selbst. Hört man »Soul Power«, das Debüt des Sängers und Gitarristen aus Atlanta, weiß man, warum das so ist. Der mitreißende Sound seiner elektrifizierten Stratocaster, der fußstampfende Backbeat und die leidenschaftlichen Texte lassen das alte Genre wieder quicklebendig werden.

Hardings Soulstil zwischen »Super Fly«, fettem 70er-Soul-Rock und einer gehörigen Portion Lässigkeit entwickelte sich im US-Bundesstaat Michigan, unterwegs auf Reisen mit seiner Gospel singenden Mutter und in Atlanta, wo er für Cee-Lo Green als Backup-Sänger tätig war und sich mit den Black Lips anfreundete (zusammen mit Cole Alexander spielt er in der Garage-Soul-Band Night Sun).

Curtis Harding
was born on June 11th, 1979 in Detroit, Michigan to a gospel singing mother, and a retired veteran father. As a young kid, Curtis Harding travelled all over the U.S. from State to State with his siblings, exposing him to all different kinds of music. Once Harding, settled down in Atlanta it seemed natural fit for his mix of Southern garage rock and R&B riffs and melodies. Inspired by Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Bo Diddley and B.B. King, he is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose songs evoke the sound of soul from the sixties, with the nitty gritty of In die music of today. Curtis Harding has carved out a place for himself in Atlanta's underground rock scene on his own terms, setting the stage for what could be the brightest year of his career yet. Curtis Harding says that soul music, and his music, speak for themselves. It's self-evident on the Atlanta artist's debut, Soul Power. The driving sound of his electrified Stratocaster, the foot-stomping backbeat and the lyrics swimming in reverb -- with something this flourishing, it's almost reductive to just dig around the roots. Harding's style was born in Michigan and bred on the road, a restless childhood spent singing gospel alongside an evangelizing mother, then cultivated in Atlanta, where he sang backup for CeeLo Green and befriended the Black Lips (he plays with Cole Alexander in Night Sun).
