Introducing Darlene Love

A cinematic, maximalist soul record that updates the legendary Wall of Sound for the modern era. Darlene Love’s voice remains a force of nature.

It's like the best 1964 radio station you've ever heard, but recorded yesterday with a massive budget.

A high-energy, celebratory explosion of soul and rock that feels like a hard-won victory.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sheer vocal endurance during the six-minute gospel climax of Jesus Is the Rock.

The brass section swell that mirrors the emotional peak of Who Under Heaven.
