By: Danielle Kfare Nov. 21, 2017
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings' final studio album Soul of a Woman is out today on Daptone Records.A lush, orchestral masterpiece, the dynamic album was recorded before Sharon's passing last November (a year ago almost to the day) and captures the riveting performer's incredible vocal capabilities and a band at the peak of their power.
Named "Album of the Month" with a 9/10 rating by UNCUT and called "a tremendous valedictory lap" by MOJO (****), Soul of a Woman is the band's endeavor to create a record that stretches the limits of their soulful sound in all directions, giving us both their rawest and most sophisticated recordings to date - the final album by one of the most influential soul voices of the 21st century.
