UK Queen Of Soul Beverley Knight will be taking her critically lauded live show on the road again this November in support of her forthcoming 7th studio album ‘Soul UK’. Knight has toured the UK and Europe several times over her 15+ year career to rave reviews. Among the highlights have been two sell out show’s at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall and supporting the likes of Prince on his 2131 residency at London O2 as well as guest slots with acts including Take That, Santana and Jamiroquai and appearances at festivals including Glastonbury, V, Isle of White and the Montreux Jazz Festival. This autumn tour will see Beverley stepping back into her live element once more and doing what she loves best.
Forthcoming album ‘Soul UK’ (4th July Hurricane Records) celebrates home grown soul music and has been produced by Grammy winning Martin Terefe (James Morrison, Jason Mraz) and hot London production duo Future Cut (Lilly Allen, Beyonce), ‘Soul UK’ sees Beverley paying respect back to her forebears – and reminding the new generation up and coming just who paved their way. Taking in songs from a range of iconic artists – from Soul II Soul and Loose Ends to Jamiroquai and George Michael, it also includes some of the more ‘hidden’ gems that make up British soul’s highlights of the 80’s and 90’s, including Princess’s “Say I’m Your Number One” and Lewis Taylor’s “Damn”. The Soul UK tour will see Beverley playing a mixture of tracks from Soul UK along with live classics from her hit laden back catalogue.
