Hollie Smith is one of my favorite living soul artists. Fell in love with her sound in 2007, when I first wrote about her. http://blog.musicload.com/2007/09/hollie-smith-soul-girl-for-real.html
This song below, 'Lives For Living', is the first single off Hollie Smith's new album Band Of Brothers Vol.1 with Mara TK known for his work with Electric Wire Hustle. This record is her latest effort under her new EMI New Zealand deal. The song is subdued, but beautiful. It sounds great turned up so that the subtleties of the rhythm can come through. Enjoy!
