The Indie Artist of the week

Shaun Labelle

SHAUN LABELLE is an acclaimed US multi-instrumentalist. He plays bass, drums, keyboards, keyboard-bass and guitar and though his name might not be that familiar to you, he’s featured on tracks by people as diverse as Ray Charles, Paula Abdul and Everette Harp.

He also enjoys his own solo career which is set to go to the next level with the release of a lovely new soulful single, ‘Your Love Kept Calling My Name’. This one’s already winning plenty of plays and grabbing loads of attention from the smoother, “grown up” radio stations.

Shaun’s team describe ‘Your Love Kept Calling My Name’. as  “sexy soulful jazz ballad” and they’re spot on!. Mr LaBelle’s status is such that he can call on plenty of big names to help him deliver his music; thus helping out here are ace keyboardist Jeff Lorber, sax man Patrick Lamb and keyboardist/arranger Maurizio Metalli. On the track Shaun adds funky synthesizer bass and bass guitar that help build  the groove. The cherry on this tasty cake though is the vocal – it comes from ever-dependable, ever-soulful Maysa and the eqaully excellent Stokley. Need we say more?

Shaun LaBelle’s ‘Your Love Kept Calling My Name’ has quality and sophistication stamped all over it… out now and recommended!
