Info for Face Your Fear

Curtis Harding aus Atlanta spielte in verschiedenen Bands, war mit Schwester und Mutter im Gospelchor und nahm eher so nebenher sein Solodebüt „Soul Power“ auf. Das begeisterte 2014 mit einer Mischung aus Soul, Blues, Garage, Gospel, Disco und Funk nicht nur das Publikum und die Kritik (the artist you need to know), sondern fand in Iggy Pop und Jack White auch prominente Fans.

Der „Rolling Stone“ prophezeite eine große Zukunft – und mit seinem zweiten Album kann Harding diese Vorschusslorbeeren bestätigen. Auf „Face Your Fear“ taucht Harding tief in die Sixties ein und beschwört die Geister von Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield, Sam Cooke, Bo Diddley und B. B. King. Wie den großen Motown-Stars der Sechziger gelingt es ihm, gelebten Schmerz und wahrhaftige Freude in einen Sound zu transformieren, der das Herz eines jeden Zuhörers öffnet.

Erfreulicherweise schafft er das auf ganz eigenständige Weise: den Soul-Spirit im Hier und Jetzt mit neuer Energie zu versorgen, ohne dabei in künstlerisch ausgetretene Fußstapfen zu treten. Der „NME“ fand dafür die Umschreibung »soul meets garage pop perfection«.

„Face Your Fear“ wurde von Harding mit Unterstützung seiner beiden Freunde Sam Cohen und Danger Mouse in New York produziert.

Curtis Harding, Gesang




Curtis Harding
was born on June 11th, 1979 in Detroit, Michigan to a gospel singing mother, and a retired veteran father. As a young kid, Curtis Harding travelled all over the U.S. from State to State with his siblings, exposing him to all different kinds of music. Once Harding, settled down in Atlanta it seemed natural fit for his mix of Southern garage rock and R&B riffs and melodies. Inspired by Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Bo Diddley and B.B. King, he is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose songs evoke the sound of soul from the sixties, with the nitty gritty of In die music of today. Curtis Harding has carved out a place for himself in Atlanta's underground rock scene on his own terms, setting the stage for what could be the brightest year of his career yet. Curtis Harding says that soul music, and his music, speak for themselves. It's self-evident on the Atlanta artist's debut, Soul Power. The driving sound of his electrified Stratocaster, the foot-stomping backbeat and the lyrics swimming in reverb -- with something this flourishing, it's almost reductive to just dig around the roots. Harding's style was born in Michigan and bred on the road, a restless childhood spent singing gospel alongside an evangelizing mother, then cultivated in Atlanta, where he sang backup for CeeLo Green and befriended the Black Lips (he plays with Cole Alexander in Night Sun).

This album contains no booklet.
