We featured the second single, "Do Something", from Anglo-French blue-eyed soul man Alexis Evans', then
forthcoming, album "Truly Yours", in Dec '22. The album was released last Friday (3 Feb '23). The
first single "Mister Right On Time" was released the previous month (11 Nov) which we suggested had a bit
of a Hall & Oates feel about it. The third single "Let Them Loose" was released on 20 Jan '23. You may recall his storming, neo
Northern Soul, debut single "I Made A Deal With Yourself" from Jan 2019.
"Truly Yours" will be the third album for the Bordeaux based artist following "Girl Bait" (2016) and "I've Come A Long Way" (2019) which was awarded 'Soul album of The Year' by Rolling Stone
France.
The album consists of twelve tracks mixing classic 60's & 70's
soul music with more contemporary influences such as hip hop beats,
jazz, reggae, and Caribbean sounds. The choice cuts on a first listen are "Another Round For Me", "Close To Me" and "It Matters To Me".
Evans inherited his love of music and learnt to play guitar from his
musician father and draws inspiration from the likes Marvin Gaye and Sam
Cooke to David Bowie. He was a member of Jumpin' to the Westside aged 17 who released an album "No Kidding" in 2011 and were awarded the "Cognac Blues Passion" prize which
earned them an appearance at the "International Blues Challenge" in
Memphis, TN.
