Leigh Jones - Music In My Soul (2008)
Biography
Peak Records presents the release of Leigh Jones’ debut album Music in My Soul on September 9th. Blue-Eyed Soul Songstress Leigh Jones is described as a natural soulful white female R&B singer. Groomed for her debut CD by legendary Motown Records founder Berry Gordy and Stax Records executive Al Bell; Leigh has recorded an assured and semi-autobiographical gem.
Only once in an era does a young performer come along who is so dazzling, so captivating and so undeniable in their talent that they gather the gale force of the most respected icons in the business beneath their wings. Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Leigh Jones is that amazing once in a lifetime artist. Having made passionate believers and hands-on supporters out of both Motown Records founder Berry Gordy AND Stax Records maverick Al Bell, Leigh Jones is fortified to take on the international pop music marketplace with her powerful debut album, “Music in My Soul”.
Destined to be heralded as possibly the most naturally soulful white female R&B singer since Teena Marie, Leigh (pronounced lee) has recorded an assured and semi-autobiographical gem of a debut. The 12-song album literally swings from the mission statement title track (complete with scat lines and lusciously layered backgrounds) to a contemporary spin on the DeBarge classic “All This Love” specially produced for her by smooth jazz giant Wayman Tisdale. Pop production great Walter Afanasieff (along with Clark Anderson) got behind Leigh with the bittersweet funk of “Freefall” while songwriting legend Bruce Fisher (composer of “You Are So Beautiful,” among scores of other classics) worked with Leigh on nearly half of the album’s songs. Fisher states, “Leigh Jones is a pleasure to work with, a delight to listen to and a joy to behold.”
Leigh Jones is making her long overdue debut with her exquisite and perfectly titled album Music in My Soul on Peak Records. Working with seasoned and knowing veterans and a team of songwriter friends, Leigh Jones has slow cooked a feast of eclectic and soulful songs that speak directly from her heart and soul to yours.
