#Just the two of us album cover series#
The genesis of The Soul Station series was my love for performing live… What better way than combining my 20-year catalog of original songs with my favourite soul singer classics?”īased in Los Angeles, with his roots in Toronto, Jarvis Church is the lead singer for the R&B-pop group The Philosopher Kings it was during the group’s 10 year hiatus that he started his solo career with the release of his debut album, Shake It Off.įrom there, Jarvis Church has actively been paying homage to the artists who inspired him as a young soul-singer. “It is ‘Beyond’ part that was an invitation for me to make the kind of music that really excites me, especially since, like so many people around the world, I found solace in my craft during the isolation of the pandemic. “The album also features five original songs that take my love of soul and house music ‘Beyond,’” he adds, with a nod to the title. Listening to the retro addition of high-pitched saxophone wailing, coupled with modern house synths and drum kits, invites new and old listeners alike to experience the song from a unique angle. It’s this unbridled passion for soul music and modern production that fuse together to make both Jarvis Church’s cover of “Just The Two Of Us, as well as The Soul Station Vol 3: A Tribute To Bill Withers and Beyond, so special.
Club Nouveau’s version was one of my favourite songs when I was a kid there was just no way to top that.” “I did about five versions of it, but I couldn’t get a modern take I was happy with. In addition to “Just The Two Of Us,” The Soul Station Vol 3: will also include “Lovely Day,” “Use Me,” and “Ain’t No Sunshine.” Deliberately missing? “Lean On Me,” he reveals.
“And, for each of the modern production styles of the four Bill Withers classics, I used contemporary hits as sonic references. “I decided to lose the retro sound, and interpret these classics with contemporary modern production. “This time, however, there’s a twist,” Jarvis hints of the new offering that features four inventive and contemporary reimaginings of Withers’ hits. The release is fresh from Jarvis Church’s forthcoming album, The Soul Station Vol 3: A Tribute to Bill Withers and Beyond - the latest in an ongoing series paying tribute to his favourite soul singers. The solitude and time to be with one another also offered a sense of "optimism and adventure of finding so many different streams of creativity," with Plant suggesting that the trip provided "more than any of the four of us could have imagined.That only a handful of artists are able to do Bill Withers justice, especially when it comes to some of his most famous work, is what makes Jarvis Church’s newly minted cover of “Just The Two Of Us” - available now - so refreshing: It pays fitting homage to the late legend, while remaining unique all on its own. We finally got time to breathe and probably to discuss stuff and write notes about things and all that." He continued, "It was the only time … we used an outdoor toilet together – separately, individually – and all that stuff. Within the chat, Plant reveals exactly how ideal that getaway proved to be at the time, explaining that things had been so intense over the course of their first two albums that "if it all ended at the end of 1970, it would have been the most amazing trip." … I’m now that guy! I pick up kindling everywhere I go and wrap it around with a piece of baling twine and shunt it on my back just in case anyone’s driving by, and they go, ‘There’s that bloke from the Led Zeppelin IV album cover!’” He added, “In fact, the old guy with the sticks on his back on Zeppelin IV. … You’re there for a reason and you’re just in it, so all that actually adds to it – the idea of going outside and bringing in kindling.” It was a beautiful place and all those things were part of the bargain. While reflecting on his Digging Deep podcast, Plant stated (as transcribed by Ultimate Classic Rock), “It was fine it was really good.
