Penryn in darkest deepest Cornwall is the surprising source of a new and never-less-than-interesting album from KYM FRANKLIN and THE CLEFT WAY. Ms. FRANKLIN is an acclaimed US session vocalist and has worked with people like the O’JAYS, AL GREEN and R KELLY. Thought the lady’s roots are in gospel, this new album – ‘SPIRITUAL SOUL GODDESS’ – isn’t an overt gospel set. Yes, it does feature gospel songs – like the traditional ‘Give Me Jesus’ – but, as the title implies, it’s more about spiritual consciousness and self-awareness. Supported by BB MAYES and MARK BURLESON – collectively THE CLEFT WAY – KYM’S vocals are powerful and inspiring throughout. For more details go to www.aardvarkrecords.co.uk
