The 24th release on BRIAN POWER'S Soulhouse Music label is a BP collaboration with Stateside producer/remixer MIKE DELGADO and features the ever lovely and always reliable HIL ST SOUL on power house vocals!

The original mix of the song – ' I Believe (In The Power of Love)' – clocks in at just over seven minutes – a fitting length for its anthemic status. Like all Soulhouse product this is the very best, classic melodic house and Hilary's vocal soars away!

As ever there are various tweaks and mixes ("T's Dub" amongst them) – but we're sticking with the original.

The sprightly 'Strong Love' was always one of the key dancers on VICTOR HAYNES recent, acclaimed Expansion album, 'Take It To The Top'.

Demand for the tune has been such that young Vic has just had the cut remixed by the Groovemay team. It remains ultra sprightly but is just a bit tighter and tougher ... watch this one for your summer playlists!

PAUL LOREN is a native New York crooner with a penchant for Blue Eyed soul. He tells us: "I started singing at 3 years old along with the little 45rpm records my mom would play and started playing piano at 4 years old. The voices I remember most and identify with are Ray Charles, Frankie Valli, Sam Cooke, Sinatra, Aretha, Otis, and Tony Bennett" and his music has always betrayed those wonderful influences.

Right now Paul's finishing his new album and as a taster he's just released the bouncy pop/soul tune, '(Gonna Take) A Little Time'. The vibe is very much mid 60s... a sort of Brill Building thing with hints of Neil Sedaka. Not surprising, the song, like the entire album, was recorded at Brooklyn's famed Five & Dime studio on something called magnetic tape!
