Soul Step Records Announces SSR-079

Soul Step Records is so thrilled to partner with Cardinal Club to announce our second ever 45 as part of the insanely popular release series - The Footprint Series. Soul Step Records’ Footprint Series focus on Country, Western, and Appalachian influenced music.

On SSR-079 - Soul Step welcomes not One but Two brand new artists to the Soul Step Records stable. This split-single features Nashville-based artist Timbo and the flip features Zelly.

Timbo, who graces the A-side with his dark and haunting stone Country track - “How Much Did It Cost?” This track showcases Timbo’s booming deep voice that sings some of the most poignant lyrics that takes a deep look at the state of our world. Country music at it’s songwriting heart is about storytelling, and Timbo absolutely delivers on the A-Side of this 45. We are also excited to have the voices of Lillie Mae and Sierra Ferrell amplify the track with their background vocals.

Zelly is a newcomer in the Singer/Songwriter and Folk scene. We are so blessed to have her debut single, “American Dream” on the B-side of this 45. This track is another beautiful introspective look at the state of our Country as well. This track features background vocals from New West Recording artist Nikki Lane. This is a great introduction to a new artist that you will make some major noise in 2021.

Soul Step Records will be releasing this split single from Timbo & Zelly to Soul Step Record Subscribers on Saturday, August 7th. The general public sale will begin on Monday, August 9th. There will be a limited to 100 CARDINAL CLUB RED vinyl variant in addition to the standard black vinyl.

Soul Step Announces SSR-082!

Soul Step Records takes partnership with one of our favorite groups we have worked with, SYLMAR.

Sylmar and Soul Step Records partner up for a FIFTH time with the release of the latest LP from Cincinnati’s greatest live act. The album is called “Glass Ladders.”

Born in February of 2016, Sylmar is an indie-rock, stoner-jazz, dream rock quintet based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Known for some incredible music, these guys have built a reputation for incredible live shows with unbridled enthusiasm.

Sylmar songwriting conflicts, taking rock genre to the meat grinder. Contagious hooks and crafty crescendos are often hampered by time changes, false endings and raucous improvisation, resulting in a bold, original, and accessible sound. Just enough to keep the crowd both on their toes in anticipation as well as on their feet, dancing.

Needless to say, “Glass Ladders” feels like a breakthrough album for one of the most adventurous acts in Ohio. The growth Sylmar shows from release to release continues to rise with their latest offering, “Glass Ladders.”

Soul Step Records will be releasing the LP “Glass Ladders” by Sylmar to Soul Step Subscribers on Saturday, November 20th.

The general public sale will begin on Monday, November 22nd. The tracks on this LP can be found on streaming on all services right now.

Soul Step Announces SSR-080!

Soul Step Records continues to support and highlight the music scene in Cincinnati, OH. Our latest release takes us back to Ohio to present to you the unbelievably talented Lauren Eylise and her album, “This Is Personal.” We will have a Limited to 100 SMOKE vinyl as well as 25 Wax Mage copies!

Lauren Eylise’s genre-defying music can only be accurately categorized as eclectic-soul, as an array of influences make up her sound while each song is born from lessons of the soul. Her commanding vocals and acoustic stylings exude an indie-folk style with R&B overtones that easily appeal to the energy of Pop music. And when armed with her full band, The Part-Time Lovers, the soul singer’s sound fuses funkadelic rock and electric blues. She is unapologetic, autonomously sensual and vulnerably transparent in her music and presence.

Lauren Eylise’s resume reflects more than six years of work under her belt. As such, she has opened stages for the likes of Patti Labelle, Erykah Badu, Jidenna, Tank, and The Bangas Yasiin Bey, Talib Kweli, Train, John Legend, Matt Kearney, Raheem Devaughn, Tank, and many more.

Lauren Eylise is for fans of SZA, Jorja Smith, and Solange. “This Is Personal” is like getting an audiobook of Lauren’s diary. Straightforward and honest songwriting that’s perfectly paired with romantic and lush musical arrangements. Once you drop the needle on this LP, you will get punched with Lauren’s soulful vocals. Sit back and enjoy the ride as you hear songs about love, good whiskey, and finding yourself.

Soul Step Records will be releasing the LP “This Is Personal” by Lauren Eylise to Soul Step Subscribers on Saturday, December 4th.

The general public sale will begin on Monday, December 6th. The tracks on this LP can be found on streaming on all services right now.

Soul Step Announces SSR-085!

We are back with yet another killer artist to introduce to the world! We are leaning into another FOOTPRINT SERIES release with none other than Sterling Drake and his debut LP, “Roll The Dice.”

Sterling Drake, has his roots planted in the tradition of Country and Western music, from the Mission Mountains of western Montana, all the way to Music City, USA.

Reminiscent of iconic mid- century country artists such Ray Price, Bob Wills, and Willie Nelson, Sterling has honed in on his "country crooner" sound touring with his dancehall band in honky-tonks across the continent.

Drake is a three time Billboard charting songwriter with work released via publishing powerhouse Extreme Music (Sony ATV) and Superpop Co. and has written with several Grammy award winning writers. Working closely in coordination with Copperline Music, Emley Entertainment, and Soul Step Records, he is ready to get “Roll The Dice” out into the world.

Get your Two-Step on when you give “Roll The Dice” a spin. This is an album that feels modern, but sounds like a lost gem in your dad’s old country record collection. Perfect to play after a day of herding cattle on the ranch or just kicking back with friends sharing an ice cold beer. Trust us, this LP is no gamble. Just great Country & Western tunes by an incredible emerging talent. Roll the Dice on this LP and you’ll get 7’s and 11’s with every spin.

Soul Step Records will be releasing the LP “Roll The Dice” by Sterling Drake to Soul Step Subscribers on Saturday, December 18th.
The general public sale will begin on Monday, December 20th. The tracks on this LP can be found on streaming on all services right now.
