New album Soul Woman to drop, listen to the first single “Speak To Me”
| Michelle David & The True-tones unleash soul-shaking new single “Speak To Me”, the first taste of the upcoming album “Soul Woman”, out February 27, 2026 on Record Kicks. Soul, gospel, and raw emotion collide as powerhouse vocalist Michelle David & The True-tones return with their electrifying new single “Speak To Me”, out today on all digital platforms. The US-Dutch outfit delivers a groove-heavy anthem that heralds their forthcoming studio album Soul Woman, set for release on February 27, 2026 via Record Kicks (LP, CD, and digital). The new album is now available for pre-order. “Speak To Me” is a commanding, up-tempo call to connection, anchored by Michelle David’s unmistakable vocals, gritty guitar riffs, and bold brass arrangements. With its instantly infectious chorus, the track demands movement, emotion, and plenty of repeats. It’s a bold reintroduction to a band known for blurring the lines between gospel fervor and vintage soul fire. Set to follow on February 27, 2026, Soul Woman marks the band’s most expansive work to date. Deepening their signature blend of gospel, soul, and classic R&B, the album ventures into new emotional and musical territory, celebrating vulnerability, resilience, and spiritual power with unshakable energy. It’s a testament to the band’s evolution and a declaration of purpose: soul music that moves both heart and feet. Born in New York and raised on gospel, Michelle David was singing in church by the age of four and performing with The Mission of Love by five. Her rich musical journey spans Broadway shows (Mama, The Sound of Motown, Glory of Gospel, Mahalia) and recording sessions with icons like Diana Ross and Michael Bolton. Since joining forces with The True-tones, the group has released seven acclaimed albums and built a reputation as one of Europe’s most dynamic live acts. From headline slots at North Sea Jazz, Pinkpop, and the Winter Olympics 2022, to earning praise from BBC Radio 6 (Album of the Year), FIP Radio (Album of the Month), and a Dutch Edison Award nomination, the band continues to earn global recognition for their modern take on retro soul. Their 2024 LP Brothers & Sisters cemented their position in the international soul landscape. Now, with “Speak To Me” and Soul Woman, Michelle David & The True-tones are ready to deliver their most passionate and powerful chapter yet. |
