Running? You will be to get your copy of the latest single by Dutch/American soul combo Michelle David & The True Tones. Why? Because it’s a bona-fide northern soul stomper. Not ‘sounding a bit like’, not ‘inspired by’ but actual – horns, pounding uptempo, four-to-the-floor beat, big gospel-soul vocals from David. A track out of time. It’s the second drop from forthcoming second album Soul Woman and incredibly, it’s the B-side of a wax 45 that features previous single Speak To Me. What about a video? Maybe vintage seventies footage of a wood-floored northern English ballroom filled with speed-freak, northern soulies shuffling, spinning and karate-kicking in time to the beat? Yep, that should do it. You know this is going to sell-out, right?
