Whenever soul dynamo Marcel Smith begins to
sing, he commands the attention of anyone within
earshot. There’s an obviously deep musical talent at work, but
there is more importantly an authenticity and sincerity that
captures people’s minds. That has never been more evident than
on From My Soul, his second album for Little Village Foundation
(release date Oct. 28, 2023).
Combining soul, gospel and R&B, Smith’s voice is
seductive and alluring, piquing interest with the anticipation
that listeners just might find a secret and comforting message
being sung expressly for them. It’s the believability factor, and
Smith’s got it.
From My Soul features five songs co-written by Smith
and a fistful of others that he makes his own from the very get-
go, including songs from the likes of Jimmy Liggins, Willie Nelson
and the Bee Gees. He displays in no uncertain terms that he is
doing it his way, and his passion demands close attention.
