Principles Of Joy - Mermaids' Tails / Kick Off The Road. [VÖ: Mai 2024 | Unique Records]


New 7" single from one of the hottest soul acts in Europe at the moment. This time, the single will not be released on his own label Q-Sounds Recording as usual, but on the legendary Düsseldorf label Unique Records. A perfect match, one would think... 

And indeed, everything here fits like a glove. Mermaids' Tails [and not "Mermaid's Tales" as incorrectly written on the label 😉] is a beautiful soul ballad that perfectly showcases Rachel Yarabou's great vocals and once again impressively demonstrates the songwriting qualities of the professional and private dream team Christelle Amoussou and Ludovic Bors...

The same applies to the AA-side of the single. With the difference that this beast of a song is a lot faster here and the track tends more in the direction of a Northern Soul piece. Musically first-class material. No soul lover should miss it...
