DESCRIPTION:
"Love In Overdrive", Gina's utterly beautiful solo track which featured on our album "Soul Steppers". This album shows that they can pull down the Blackpool Mecca building but they can never take away our music. And in times of darkness and uncertainty, as the opening track gloriously proclaims "I know there's better times ahead for us". Onward to a brighter day. Music can lift us and make us forget what the world has to throw at us, and this album is designed to do just that. The album has some classic retro soul, owing more homage to Gamble and Huff and the sound of Philadelphia and the mid 1970's rhythms, than to the usual Sixties style. Midtempo and Uptempo soulful sizzler's to warm the embers of your heart, and take your feet totally out of control. With songs by Rosetta Hightower, Noel McKoy, Odette Adams, Tahira Jumah, Jay Harvey, Pearly Gates, The Flirtations, Janine Johnson, Michael Lloyd Pinq, Kitty Corbin, Judy Duff, The Concentrations, Jimmy James, and a few major surprises. Gina has been making records for many years and is a skilled and consummately professional backing singer, recently performing with Tom Jones. The duet that we recorded with Peter Lamarr, "Miracles", was originally for Benjamin Barnes. That was before he became world famous starring as Prince Caspian in "The Chronicles Of Narnia", so I decided to make it as a duet with Peter and Gina.
