Deni hines making the soul sessions



The Soul Sessions is the fourth studio album by ARIA Award winner, singer songwriter, Deni Hines. The album was recorded at Hercules Street Studio and Kings X Music studios and is due for release worldwide on November 18, 2016.

Contents

The album is being released in Japan by P-Vine.

The album includes several tracks co-written by Hines - "I Got Your Back", "Runnin'" and the lead single "What About Love".

The album reached number 8 on the UK 'soul' album charts.

Background and Release

Throughout 2013/14, Hines performed around Australia the 'The Café Soul Sessions' tour and the idea for a soul-inspired album was born.

Hines decided to record the album concept, stating "I had a moment on stage recently where I stood back and watched them and thought 'Man, this band is hot!' and I wanted to capture in a recording how good they are when they play live." She added; "I hope you support the project because I'd really like to showcase these amazing musicians with songs that have been close to my heart since I was a child."

Hines also wanted to write original tracks for the album, inspired by the soul concept.

"The Soul Sessions" features cover art from celebrated artist Gabrielle Pool – who created the painting, which was sold at the Oasis Africa Charity Auction night to raise funds for the children of Kibera, Africa's largest slum. Deni & Gabrielle flew to Kibera, with Deni teaching the children how to sing, while Gabrielle taught them how to paint.
