\u201cSoul To Soul,\u201d a passionate new song cycle from vocalist, songwriter, producer and musician Carmen Lundy, is set for release September 23rd, 2014 via Afrasia Productions. \u201cSoul To Soul\u201d, Lundy\u2019s 14th album, is the next chapter in her critically-acclaimed career as both a musical artist and a visual artist; a return to her roots but also an exploration of these roots \u2014 and the journey that those roots can take you on. The release of \u201cSoul To Soul\u201d will be accompanied by tour dates both in the U.S. and overseas.\n\n\nCarmen Lundy began working on \u201cSoul To Soul\u201d well over a year ago in a very hands-on manner \u2014 literally composing, co-composing and arranging eleven of the thirteen tracks and then playing and recording all the instruments - including bass, drums, piano, guitar and percussion \u2014 in her home studio to get a working \u201cfeel\u201d for how the music might sound. She then \u201csweetened\u201d the songs by adding string sounds and other software instruments to elaborate and experiment with the aural mood of each track, interpreting and identifying with each track\u2019s sound individually as well as part of the overall song sequence. On the final CD, Lundy plays guitar on all tracks, piano and Rhodes on many tracks, and drums on two.
