Bella Brown & The Jealous Lovers Soul Clap

Los Angeles-based retro soul/funk sensation Bella Brown & the Jealous Lovers are ready to make waves with their highly anticipated LP, 'Soul Clap.' Led by Grammy Award-winning vocalist/songwriter Carol Hatchett, Bella Brown brings a fiery stage presence inspired by icons like Tina Turner and Sharon Jones, channeling the bold energy of 70s Blaxploitation films.

Guided by producer/bassist/songwriter Daniel Pearson, The Jealous Lovers assemble a stellar ensemble of musicians with impressive pedigrees, including collaborations with Mick Jagger, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Prince, and Stevie Wonder. Together, they aim to redefine music by blending soul and funk with jazz, rock, and Afro-Caribbean influences.

'Soul Clap' draws its essence from the cultural phenomenon it's named after—a shared and improvised rhythm-making by a collective. Spanning 40 minutes of musical bliss, the LP invites listeners to immerse themselves in the groove and discover their own truths through the music.

Tracks like the title song 'Soul Clap' and the infectious 'Living Proof' serve up funky dance beats reminiscent of Bohannan and The Tramps, infused with jazzy improvisations and soulful horn arrangements. 'Coming For You' boldly announces Bella and The Jealous Lovers' arrival on the modern soul landscape, while 'I Found You' offers a northern soul love song with a touch of modern influence.

Social commentary is seamlessly woven into Bella's art, seen in tracks like 'Bang Bang Bang,' a funky Motown groove reflecting on American gun culture, and 'Lady Time,' addressing homelessness with a driving afrobeat groove.

Yet, the album also embraces lighthearted moments with 'Fast As Lightning,' celebrating a cleaner future, and 'There Is Love,' delivering a lush message of support over a classic rhythm section. 'What Will You Leave Behind' rounds out the album with a powerful call to action for a better future.

Bella Brown & the Jealous Lovers have created an album that transcends genres, honoring the roots of soul and funk while pushing musical boundaries. 'Soul Clap' is a celebration of individual truths, shared experiences, and the enduring power of music.
