Hilary Mwelwa of Hil St. Soul releases her fifth album "Back To Love" (which is her first for fourteen years since "Black Rose" 2008) next Friday (18 Nov 2022). Thanks to DSG Promotions we can give you
a sneak preview. The album will be available digitally and on CD and will,
of course, be re-posted in full on release.
The album contains her last five singles, the current single "A Feeling So Beautiful" (a new version should be out this week with a new
Nigel Lowis Mix), "Blessed" feat. Noel Gourdin, the Ohio Players cover "Heaven Must Be Like This", "In My Groove" and "One Life". That leaves six new songs making their debut.
The new songs include the funky uptempo dance groove "Party On", a duet with Noel Gourdin on "Amazing", a classic modern soul number "Love and Fire", an acoustic song "Sweet Heaven" and my personal choice cut of the new songs "Fingerprints" (along with "Love and Fire").
The spark that ignited the new album was her success in 2020 with "One Life" produced by Regi Myrix which saw a 7" vinyl release on
Izipho Soul. Myrix produces the album along with
Lorenzo Johnson (Ledisi, Calvin Richardson) as well as
Prince Damon (Dwele).
Hilary was born in Lusaka, Zambia moving to London aged 5. She has a
degree in Biological Sciences from London's Westminster University. She
took a year out to pursue her music and collaborated with Victor
Redwood-Sawyer forming Hil St. Soul and released a debut album "Soul Organic" on Dome in 1999 from which an acoustic cover of Stevie Wonder's "Until You Come Back To Me" gained attention and airplay. Three albums followed: "Copasetik & Cool" (Gut 2002), "SOULidified" (Shanachie 2006) and "Black Rose" (Shanachie 2008). There is a a lovely version of The Isley's "For The Love Of You" on "SOULified".
If you'd like to catch up with some of the best of her earlier material
we did a "Hil St. Soul ... The Best Of" feature back in March 2020.
