As previously announced, indie soul heroes DURAND JONES and the INDICATIONS will release their new album, “Private Space,” July 30 via Dead Oceans in association with Colemine Records. Pre-listening revealed that “Private Space” is every bit as good as their 2019 breakthrough, “American Love Call,” which was named one of the albums of the year. This was already evident on the first single from the album, “Private Space,” the quirky and infectious “Witchoo,” with falsetto soul vocals by drummer Aaron Fraser. Instead of resting on their laurels and simply offering more of the same, the band has evolved their sound to offer some new flavors and surprises without sacrificing soul or their reverence for soul’s rich heritage. Soul and Jazz and Funk is an independent site providing news and reviews of soul music compiled by Charles Waring and Bill Buckley, two of the most experienced and respected British writers in the field. With enough listeners, this new set will be hailed as one of the greatest soul albums of 2021. Duran Jones plays the lead role against a backdrop of smooth, lush backing tracks and full harmonies from the rest of the band. Today, Duran and the boys released the album’s second single, “Love Will Fix Everything.” This song is actually the first track from the album, and it’s a great way to set the mood.
