NEW ALBUM ‘GOT A STORY TO TELL’ OUT OCTOBER 4 ON DAPTONE
Today, Thee Sacred Souls share a preview of their sophomore album, Got A Story To Tell, out October 4 on Daptone Records. Their new single, Live For You pays homage to great American R&B of the 60’s and 70’s and the sweet Chicano soul beloved by old school lowriders. The track oozes with timeless style while revealing a message of perseverance and self love: “Those obstacles ahead, they don’t disappear if you stay trapped inside your head / get up now, get up now and live for you baby.” (Listen here)
“Live For You is permission through song for the listener to engage in a lifelong relationship with themselves,” shares lead singer Josh Lane on the meaning behind the song. “I believe that when we do the work to genuinely love ourselves we have more capacity to be empathetic towards the world around us.”
The highly anticipated follow-up to their breakout 2022 self-titled debut, Thee Sacred Soul’s Got A Story To Tell (Daptone Records) features 12 all original new songs, a soaring statement of exquisite craftsmanship from this young band from San Diego whose own story grows bigger by the day. Millions of monthly listeners on Spotify. Celebrity fans like SZA, Alicia Keys, and Kylie Jenner. An NPR Tiny Desk performance that burned the house down. And all in the first two years of the band’s existence. Then came life on the road.
Since their debut LP and it’s break out hit Can I Call You Rose, Thee Sacred Souls have toured the world including sold-out shows on their debut Australian tour earlier this year. They played their sweet soul music at dozens and dozens of headlining shows and in the process they went from young musicians to a tight-knit, stress-tested band who knew each other like family. All the great bands were made better by life on the road, and Thee Sacred Souls is ready to join that pantheon. Got A Story To Tell is in every way a tighter and emotionally richer record because of their journey.
Fresh off summer festival appearances — including a standout set at Montreal Jazz Festival that FLOOD called “a master curatorial touch of showcasing the next big thing — nothing short of a coronation” — and a headline show in NYC last week for Celebrate Brooklyn, Thee Sacred Souls will embark on their biggest US tour to date that includes New York’s new 2700-capacity Brooklyn Paramount (Nov. 8) and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium (Oct. 16).
