Hil St Soul

"A beguiling set of pipes - a whiff of Whitney here, a scoop of Chaka there"The Boston Globe Hil St Soul comes to Boisdale with original British soul, neo-soul warmth and a catalogue that has travelled well beyond the UK circuit.

Led by Zambia-born, London-raised singer-songwriter Hilary Mwelwa, this is soul with roots in Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, but shaped by London R&B, jazz-soul and the smooth US soul sound that embraced her early.

Her debut album Soul Organic marked her out as one of the strongest UK soul voices of her generation, earning Best Newcomer recognition from Blues & Soul. She went on to appear on Later...

with Jools Holland, share stages with James Brown, D'Angelo and Macy Gray, and find US radio success with her version of "For the Love of You".

The live set draws from a catalogue that includes "Until You Come Back to Me", "For the Love of You", "Pieces", "Strictly a Vibe Thing" and newer material from Back in Love and Nasalifya (Thank You).

Expect warm keys, a rhythm section that sits in the pocket, close backing vocals and Hilary's lead vocal right where it should be: relaxed, soulful and never overworked.

At Boisdale of Canary Wharf, this is a strong fit for the room: grown-up UK soul, neo-soul detail, jazz-soul colour and songs that reward close listening as much as they reward a good groove.
