GFM Family we wanted to let you all of you know about the new Leela James project My Soul, out today. This marks Leela James’ debut on Stax Records, a division of Concord Music Group. The move to Stax – the legendary home of some of the greatest soul and R&B artists of the past half-century – is a fitting destination for a vocalist who has committed herself to preserving the soul tradition.
Enjoy the lead single and great video from My Soul
