Konzert / Soul Curtis harding

Soul isn’t a feeling, a sound or a movement. It’s a connection, a current in the air — the spark of recognition, emotions leaping across live wires. It’s the way a sinewy bassline steers your hips and eyes to the stranger across the club. It’s how a handful of humble words can give millions the inspiration to overcome. It’s the genius of a simple chorus that can explain the hard truths you couldn’t last time you saw her. CURTIS HARDING says that soul music, and his music, speak for themselves. It’s self-evident on the Atlanta artist’s debut, ​“Soul Power”. The driving sound of his electrified Stratocaster, the foot-stomping backbeat and the lyrics swimming in reverb — with something this flourishing, it’s almost reductive to just dig around the roots. HARDING’s out there on the road, singing alongside everyone else looking for something real.
