That spirit of self-inquiry and renewal lies at the heart of “Soul Woman” — a record that embraces vulnerability while radiating strength. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusically, “Soul Woman” continues to refine the band’s signature blend of gospel fire, soul and vintage rhythm \u0026amp; blues, while drawing from a wider palette of influences. Echoes of Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Womack, and The Four Seasons pulse through the grooves, while the gospel fire of The Blind Boys of Alabama and the joyous uplift of Diana Ross \u0026amp; The Supremes lend the album both gravity and sparkle. At the center is Michelle David’s unmistakable voice — raw, warm, and filled with purpose — wrapped in rich, analog-driven arrangements from longtime collaborators Paul Willemsen (guitar, bass guitar), Onno Smit (guitar, bass guitar) and Bas Bouma (drums). Together, Michelle David \u0026amp; The True-tones stand tall at the forefront of the retro soul scene — blending timeless grooves with modern urgency, unshakable authenticity, and heartfelt spirit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Voice Born in the Church, Honed on the Road. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn in New York and raised in the church, Michelle David began singing at just four years old and joined her first group, The Mission of Love, at five. Her powerhouse vocals took her around the globe, starring in acclaimed Broadway productions like Mama, The Sound of Motown, Glory of Gospel, and Mahalia, and recording with legends including Diana Ross and Michael Bolton — all before beginning her celebrated journey with The True-tones. Together, Michelle David \u0026amp; The True-tones have released seven critically acclaimed albums and lit up stages across Europe, from Pinkpop to North Sea Jazz and London Jazz Festival. Known for their electrifying live shows, the band has earned standing ovations from Spain to Scandinavia, appeared on major TV and radio platforms, and even performed at the 2022 Winter Olympics. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir recorded work has been equally praised: The Gospel Sessions earned an Edison Award nomination (the Dutch equivalent of a Grammy), while 2020’s Truth \u0026amp; Soul was named Album of the Year by Craig Charles’ BBC Radio 6 Music and Album of the Month by FIP (Radio France). Their most recent album, Brothers \u0026amp; Sisters (2024), marked their debut on Record Kicks and became a breakout release — celebrated by Rolling Stone France, KEXP, Jazzthing Magazine (Germany), De Volkskrant (Netherlands), and BBC 6 Music. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Testament to Soul’s Timeless Power \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith “Soul Woman”, Michelle David \u0026amp; The True-tones offer more than just a new record — it’s a musical testimony of resilience, a celebration of spiritual growth, and a reaffirmation of soul music’s ability to heal, connect, and inspire.
