Soul is an inspirational force in the universe.
Memphis wrecking crew Southern Avenue are well-versed in the languages of R&B, soul, and funk, playing countless shows across North America and beyond.
Having previously released on revamped soul powerhouse Stax Records, Southern Avenue are well-placed to match heritage with future ambition.
New album 'Be The Love You Want' is out on August 27th, and we're able to share a preview.
Scorching new song 'Move Into The Light' is a raw soul stomper, one that lets its Memphis roots shine through.
All blazing horns and gutsy vocals, it plays with soulful tradition while sticking true to their own identity.
Southern Avenue's Tierinii Jackson comments…
"'Move Into The Light' is a fun, funky jam that speaks about moving from the dim moods of our minds and trusting our will to let go and have fun! We wrote this song with Jason Mraz and it conveys the type of positive energy we need more of in the world! After the year that everyone has had, we're feeling crazy blessed that we get to spread this positive message together, and literally move from darkness into the light while touring with Jason and his amazing band this summer."
"For the video, we wanted to create this visually by presenting a strong sense of contrast. The band is wearing white coupled with an explosion of color which accents the uplifting mood of the song. Playing music is what we do to lift us out of our dark spaces and it was an inevitable choice that we jam it out in the video and just dance and have a good time!"
Tune in now.
