| Phil Tonks |
Thanks for stopping by the Science of Soul web site; I hope my new time slot is more convenient for my Bridge FM listeners and live Internet visitors. Bringing the Show forward 2 hours will help us grow even more. If your new to the Show please be sure to spread the word. I would like to give a big thank you to my predecessor Phil Tonks who's kindness as allowed me to move forward and I'm sure Phil's excellent Soul Boudoir will back in a new slot before to long.
This week I'm featuring an EP release by Soul Papers (feat: Coco) I don't no to much about them but if it's an indication of things to come I can't wait. Been recommending a few books over the past weeks and I would like to draw your attention to Aretha Franklin's excellent collaboration with award winning writer David Ritz, 'From These Roots' is a look at the Queen of Soul's life from her own perspective. I think sometimes we take artists like Aretha for granted, as celebrated as she is it's amazing when you look at her career, she is undoubtedly one of the most important soul artist's of all time.

Biography for Coco Mallone:
Coco Malone is a soulful, jazzy songbird who is spreading her wings and bursting onto the UK's soul scene. Hailing from Lancashire, north west England, she has paid her performance dues by singing jazz standards and soul classics at cabaret and burlesque nights across the UK and as far as Paris, Rome, Stuttgart and Geneva. Coco received vocal and performance training from an early age before then going on to gain much experience from life itself - a life that only felt complete with music in it. And it's that vast experience that Coco puts into her music - whether she's delivering one of the classics from the vocalists who inspire her, or whether she's writing her own lyrics to tell the world her own story.Her vocals are sometimes soulful, sometimes jazzy, sometimes powerful, sometimes vulnerable - but they always come from the heart. They've been described as sounding like "melted chocolate over hot coals".
