Joe Leavy [2023] - Soul On Fire [Self Released] (Album Teaser)


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.

A solid set of eleven tracks with something for everyone, ballads ("Love All The Hurt Away" / "Words"), steppers ("Find A Way To Love") nodders ("Up A Notch"), upbeat dancers ("Give It Right" / "Soul On Fire") and downright soulful ("Too Much Love") .. just buy it as you won't be disappointed as there are no fillers and there aren't many albums you can say that about!
