Bobby
Harden
&
The
Soulful
Saints
are
proud
to
announce
their
debut
album,
“Bridge
of
Love.”
The
album’s
ten
original
compositions
are
presented
in
sparklingly-clear
stereo
sound
and
run
the
soul
gamut,
from
grits-n-bricks
R&B
(‘Played
a
Fool
by
You’)
to
throw-back
psychedelia
(‘One
Tribe’),
svelte
seventies
pop
(‘One
Night
of
the
Week’)
and
some
seriously
sophisticated
ballads
(‘Wounded
Hearts’,
‘Bridge
of
Love’).
Together
they
document
Bobby’s
life
journey
in
song.
Through
youthful
self-doubt
in
the
opening
track
‘It’s
My
Time’,
to
confirmation
on
the
exuberant
finale
‘Raise
Your
Mind’,
Bobby
proves
that
faith
and
hard
work
can
pay
dividends.
“Life
is
a
joy
when
you
free
your
soul.”
Throughout
the
album,
Harden’s
voice
is
tailored
to
perfection
by
the
almost
impossibly
dexterous
Soulful
Saints,
and
further
dressed
to
the
nines
by
an
accoutrement
of
Latin
percussion,
full-on
horns,
high-flying
backing
singers
and
even
a
string
quartet.
This
comes
as
no
surprise
as
The
Soulful
Saints
have
performed
live
and
recorded
together
with
acts
such
as
Sharon
Jones
&
The
Dap-Kings,
Charles
Bradley
&
His
Extraordinaires,
Lee
Fields
&
The
Expressions,
The
Budos
Band,
Mark
Ronson,
Antibalas,
The
Impressions,
&
The
Wu-Tang
Clan.
