Following on from her hugely successful tour in November 2009, UK Queen Of Soul Beverley Knight has announced that she will be playing five more shows around her Royal Albert Hall show in April 2010.
Hailed for her incredible stagecraft, and dynamic live shows that span soul, rock, r’n’b and funk influences, Beverley’s reputation as one of the UK’s most enduring live performers continues to grow – see below for details.
March 8th will also see Beverley releasing ‘Soul Survivor’, the third single from her acclaimed 6th studio album, ‘100%’. The single is the lead track from The Soul Survivor EP, which will also contain ‘Turned To Stone’ as well as live tracks from Beverley’s hugely successful 100% tour this Autumn. A defiant, old-skool stomper of a track, Soul Survivor sees Beverley teaming up with the force of nature that is mighty soul legend Chaka Khan on this Guy Chambers co-written track. Beverley comments:
“When me and Guy first wrote this song I recorded it alone initially, but I knew there was another dimension to it – and Chaka was that dimension! She’s incredible. Everyone knows there are ebbs and flows in a career in the music industry. That’s what this song is about. People fall in and out of favour all the time. The thing that gets you through is the love of what you do.”
Released on Hurricane Records in September 2009, ‘100%’, her sixth studio album that sees triple Mobo award winning Knight working with, amongst others, illustrious former writing partner Guy Chambers, multi Grammy Award winning legends Jam and Lewis, and Ivor Novello winning songwriter Amanda Ghost.
