Sophia Darcell

Take the ultra cool backdrop of sizzling hot Miami, a sultry female soul singer, and five dapper groove-oriented musicians collectively from Paris, Aracuja, Barcelona, and Memphis…put them together and what do you get? One eclectic undeniably sexy wall of sound reflected in Sophia Darcell’s new album "Soul Eclectic".

Just returning from a successful tour, hot spots including Atlanta, Miami, and New York City, the band is preparing for their “Soul Eclectic” album release party August 26, 2006 at NYC’s infamous Lion’s Den, followed by plans to shoot the first music video to their well received single, “7 Seas”. Album Singles “They Love Like That“ & “Charades“ are in global rotation on over 50 Internet and terrestrial radio stations.

Sophia Darcell makes an impressive return to the urban music scene with a marked departure from the melancholic acoustic songs of “Love=Pain” back in 2001.
Although the depressive ballads on “Love=Pain” earned Sophia rave press reviews in South East Performer Magazine, Creative Loafing Atlanta, Splendidezine.com, etc., in addition to performances everywhere from Hard Rock Café to Phillips Arena, it’s obvious the songstress/producer rebounds this time around with more socially conscious songs, backed by up tempo Urban Afro-Caribbean grooves, and a decidedly different attitude concerning life and affairs of the heart.

Joined by Eric Escanes (Guitar), Dave Gabillet (Drums), Kenneth Williams (Bass), and Marcello Falconi (Guitar), Sophia Darcell’s comeback is nothing ordinary. Together their smooth fusion of Jazz, Rock, Funk, and R&B bring to mind Brit-Soul bands like Brand New Heavies, Sade, Les Nubians, and Incognito.

Without further ado, take a listen to Sophia Darcell.
