Description
2019 was a standout year for acclaimed soul singer P.P. Arnold, as London’s “First Lady Of Soul” released “The New Adventures of… P.P. Arnold” - her first album of new material since the early 1970’s. The studio album featured stunning contributions from Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene’s Steve Cradock, The Specials and P.P.’s son, Kojo Samuel. Together with a nine-piece band, Arnold embarked on a UK tour to promote the record, culminating in the forthcoming release of her brand-new live album “Live In Liverpool”. “Live In Liverpool” was recorded during the last night of the “New Adventures” tour at Grand Central Hall, Liverpool, UK, on October 18th, 2019. It features true P.P. Arnold classics, like “The First Cut Is The Deepest” and “Angel Of The Morning”, as well as special live versions of the songs from “The New Adventures of… P.P. Arnold”, such as “I Believe”, “Hold On To Your Dreams”, Paul Weller’s “Shoot The Dove”, the Northern Soul classic “You Got Me”, and Steve Cradock’s “Still Trying” and “Magic Hour”. This special live performance is a true testament to P.P. Arnold’s versatility as a vocalist and her charisma as a performer, and shows just how effortlessly her rich, soulful voice lends itself to various genres, from soul to rhythm and blues to rock and pop.

“I was over the moon with how well the concert had gone. Steve had pulled off the dream of performing the album live and it sounding so close to the original recording.”, P.P. Arnold recalls when asked about that special night in Liverpool, “The band was brilliant, the girls sounded like angels, and I felt so good, so pleased that it had all gone so well.” “Live In Liverpool” will be released as 180g black double vinyl, packed in a high quality gatefold jacket, as well as CD Digipak edition on the earMUSIC label.
