Paul Stanley Soul Station Now and Then

Paul Stanley’s Soul Station have today (5) released their new track “I, Oh I.” It’s the first original song from the band’s upcoming Now and Then album, which follows on March 19 via UMe.

As reported, the album by the Kiss co-founder and frontman with his 15-piece ensemble will combine nine versions of classic soul songs with five original tracks. The covers will include the recently-released reading of the Five Stairsteps’ “O-O-H Child” as well as the Spinners’ “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love.”
“As much as Soul Station is rooted in the past, I wanted our music to also live in the present,” says Stanley. “‘I, Oh I’ shows what can grow from those deep roots. With love and respect, we’re proud of where we come from and where we’re going. Check out the first of five originals from the album!”

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Stanley is joined in the band Rafael “Hoffa” Moreira on guitar and backing vocals, Sean Hurley on bass, Alex Alessandroni (musical director, keyboards), Ely Rise (keyboards), Eric Singer (drums, backing vocals), RayYslas (percussion), Gavyn Rhone (backing vocals), Crystal Starr (backing vocals), Laurhan Beato (backing vocals), and Jon Pappenbrook (lead trumpet). Three string players and two horn players further augmeng the line-up.

Rolling Stone wrote of a Soul Station live show: “Paul Stanley of Kiss found some genuine emotional power in a set of classic 60s and 70s…” The Orange County Register observed: “Stanley and company crackled life into more than a dozen soul and Motown classics in versions that featured arrangements mostly faithful to the studio versions while gaining an additional edge played live.

“Stanley not only hit those lofty notes,” continued the review, “but delivered the songs with authentic emotion that gave the overall performance an artistic sense of purpose that more than justifies future outings from Soul Station.”

Now And Then is out on March 19 and can be pre-ordered here.
