An album covering a wide range of black music styles, from funk, to disco, to jazz and soul.
This is an album about people with 'soul.' You may not like all of the characters (some factual, others fictional) which the album is based upon; but good or bad, what they share is desire: life-affirming desire.
Here's just a few of the things people are saying about the album:
“Wonderful vibes! Throws us back to the late 60s, early 70s movie soundtrack grooves.” - Da Silve & Lino, Music Producers for Universal, Sony, Warners
“This is Jazz 2021!” - Mark Roberts, Record Industry Of America Multi-Platinum Songwriter
"In all seriousness... On 1st Feb @HakimJa95723384 releases 'The Soul of Hakim Jamal' which is off the scale of beautiful."
- Craig Bunce, Horsham Theatre Manager
“That's some seriously soulful feel-good lounge/nightclub music right there. Can't help but feel the influence of Curtis Mayfield's work there, among a few others.” - Da Silva and Lino, Music Producers for Universal, Sony, Warners
“@Hakim Jamal I feel the heat ... cool funky grooves. Thank you.” - Audrey Hall, Radio Presenter ALLFM
“Awesome!” - George Miller, Universal Music Group
“Hakim Jamal: Chart-topping LA Artist riding high in music fans' playlist.” - ReverbNation
