Backed by an all-star band featuring members of Melbourne funk bands such as The Putbacks and Cookin' on 3 Burners, the "Women of Soul" album is the biggest collaborative project in the history of the Melbourne soul scene.
Curated by Chelsea Wilson (Music Manager PBS 106.7FM/ Broadcaster 'Jazz Got Soul'/ Vocalist) and produced by award winning producer Jake Mason (Cookin' on 3 Burners) the album presents a range of genres including funk, neo, garage and northern reflective of the sound of Melbourne soul. The collaboration also includes album liner notes written by Brisbane based broadcaster Sarah Howells (Roots n All, triple j), images by Sydney based photographer Helen Melville and graphic design by Melbourne illustrator Kirrily Anderson aka iandtheothers.
The album release follows from the ladies debut single “Woman Got Soul” released on International Women’s Day to raise funds for the Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria.
