Joe Leavy announced last week that his long awaited, and
highly anticipated, sophomore album "Soul On Fire" is available to
pre-order from his website
on CD from 15 Jun for release on 7 Jul.
As you may understand, Joe and his UK promoter Steve Ripley do not want
to go the traditional route of 'giving away' the album for free on
promotion to DJs as it may severely hinder CD sales, so DJs do not expect
to receive this album as a freebie anytime soon. We know Joe has
been working on this album for a long time as it was initially scheduled
for release in Sep '22
The album is currently only available on CD but Joe told us that when you
pre-order the CD you will receive a digital download now. A stand alone digital
download will not be available for a month or two
He relayed to us that he requests that DJs do NOT play unreleased tracks
from the album until the album is officially released as he says "we don’t
want to kill the buzz for potential album purchases by having unreleased
songs routinely played", he goes on "Those that pre order the album
receive a link to download lossless wav files of the album with a request
asking DJ’s and Podcast host not play unreleased songs to support our
sales efforts".
We are very saddened to hear last night that Joe's nephew Kevin Leavy Jr. has
died aged only 37 and we have passed on our sincere condolences to Joe and
his family at what should have been an exciting time for Joe with his album
launch and upcoming tour.
