SWR Big Band & Ola Onabule [2022] - Soul Town [SWR Music]

Well here we have it, a big band version of Ola Onabule's 2015 modern soul smash "Soul Town". Several versions were flying around including Drizabone, Mike Maurro and CW (Colin Watson) mixes, but the 'in-demander' was the Nigel Lowis Remix coupled with the CW Remix (a more 'traditional' mix) which saw a 7" vinyl release. There are currently none available for sale on Discogs and the last one to sell, sold for £50 with £75 being the highest price paid which gives an indication of how in demand it is on vinyl.

Ola has a new album due soon on SWR Music "Soul Encounter" with SWR Big Band and one of the tracks is the new 'big band' version of "Soul Town". Silky smooth vocals on a mellowed down version of a great song with real musicians, what's not to like?

Three tracks from the album have been drip fed as singles for the last three months consecutively "Swinging Wide" (Feb), "Let Love Alone" (Mar) and "Every Prey" (Apr).

Ola was born in London, relocating to Nigeria for his secondary school years before returning to London at 17. He began his recording career in 1995 and the new album will be his tenth.
