New album from Aliah Sheffield (aka Nikki Aliah) + Soul'd Out, 'Since You've Been Around', was released 26
Mar 2021.
Aliah Sheffield debuted in Dec 2014 with 'Where I'm At (Is in Love with
You)' on William DeVaughan's Sound Gems label, which also got a later
release in Mar 2015 with 3 remixes.
It's a 'traditional' soul album with hints of gospel. There's a wonderful
version of Aretha's 'Ain't No Way'. Other highights include 'Before I Go'
and 'Time And Space', both of which sound like they could have been
recorded in the late 60s, 'Love It All' is a mellow soul ballad, 'Travelling
Soldier' reminds me of something Donny Hathaway could have
recorded.
It's a good, solid album all through from an artist I haven't listened to before
but she certainly has my attention after this outing. Highly recommended
for lovers of 'real' soul.
