Laura Izibor’s meaning of soul
Having opened for James Brown and Aretha Franklin, Dublin’s Laura Izibor is certainly well-placed to offer her opinion on what Joe Bloggs would deem ‘soul’. She may well fit nicely into the Lauryn Hill slot that’s been free since the turn of the century… here’s what she she had to say:
“Soul music to me has always been the most real and honest genre of music. Whether its singing about the pain from someone that’s done you wrong or when you just cant get enough of somebody, when you hear a soul singer like Otis Redding sing about these things you feel it. From your head to your toes soul music is like a constant flow of electricity. There are no rules with Soul. It’s real, gritty, unpretentious and makes you feel alive.”
Tomorrow’s final meaning of soul comes at you at 12 pm – in the form of a definitive mp3!
