Soul Woman

Description

Michelle David & The True-tones, major figures in the US-Dutch gospel-soul scene, announce Soul Woman, due for release on February 27, 2026, via Record Kicks. Following Brothers & Sisters (2024), the album focuses on the intimate, exploring identity, resilience, and healing, carried by Michelle David's powerful and warm voice. Musically, the record refines the band's signature blend—gospel, soul, and vintage R&B—while incorporating broader influences, from Curtis Mayfield to Diana Ross & The Supremes. Paul Willemsen, Onno Smit, and Bas Bouma's rich analog arrangements accompany grooves that are both timeless and contemporary. Born in New York and raised in church music, Michelle David quickly made her mark on stage and in the studio before forming The True-tones. With Soul Woman, the band offers a tribute to classic soul while asserting its timeless power, blending emotion, spirituality, and musical authenticity.
