Trace feat. Paul Mac Innes [2024] - Ain't For Free [Six Nine Records] PROMO SAMPLE

A song that you may recall from 2006 is "Ain't That Free" by Trace feat. Swedish blue-eyed soul singer Paul Mac Innes when it featured on the "Soul Togetherness 2006" compilation (only?).

It now gets a release on 7" vinyl by Six Nine Records which includes the original 2004 version along with a new edit for 2024. It's available now to pre-order and we're told will be released in a couple of weeks.

It's the label's first release for a little while, since 3TOB "My Baby" / "Love Will Find It's Way" last year.

Coincidentally, Mac Innes released a new single on Friday titled "No Chains", We last featured him with another vinyl release in 2022 on LRK Records, "Falling By The Wayside".

Excuse the pun but we can find no trace of Trace but from writing and production credits (Christopher Ekholm and Nils Dahl) and musicians Anna Bellander (backing vocals), Carl Bellander (trumpet) and Carl Ryden (guitar), believe they may also be from Sweden.

Paul Mac Innes [2022] - Falling by the Wayside [LRK Records]

Received on promo from LRK Records earlier this week (who are planning to release it on limited edition 7" vinyl but date TBC owing to pressing plant backlogs) but also self-released digitally last Friday (19 Aug 2022) is a new single  "Falling by the Wayside" from Gothenburg's Paul Mac Innes.

The 60s Motown inspired song (with distinct hints of the bassline to "You Can't Hurry Love") was written with producer Mattias Axelsson pre-pandemic and put on hold but he has been singing it at live performances and has now decided to release it as a single.

The single is available digitally on the main DSPs and also on LRK Records bandcamp store which I'd urge you to use rather than the main DSPs if you decide to purchase to support independents.

Some endorsements Paul has received:

"Paul has one of those voices that is undeniable. A Soulful hug that wraps the listeners ears and takes you with him where ever his voice leads. I hope he gets the support that he deserves to take his music around the world. There's a lot of things you can do today to make people sound like they can sing, but when you hear the real thing there's no comparison."

 Justin Stanley - producer/engineer (Prince, Eric Clapton, Nikka Costa, Jamie Lidell)

"If there is a lineage of soulful voices that runs from Otis Redding through to Al Green and on to Terrence Trent Darby, then surely it would be right to say that Paul Mac Innes and his warm and beautifully textured voice is a powerful representative of that line."

Ola Onabule, Artist
