Soulful

Dionne Warwick's 1969 album, Soulful, marks a significant departure from her previous works, as it is the first of her Scepter albums not to directly involve her longtime production and songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Instead, Warwick took the reins, co-producing the album with Chips Moman, resulting in a unique collection of soulful covers.

This 32-minute album, originally released on Scepter Records, features Warwick's distinctive vocals on iconic tracks such as 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'', 'People Got to Be Free', and 'Hey Jude'. The tracklist showcases her ability to interpret a wide range of genres, from soul to pop, with her own unmistakable style.

Soulful, now available on Rhino, is a testament to Dionne Warwick's versatility and talent as a singer. Released between her stylistically similar albums 'Promises, Promises' and 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again', Soulful stands out as a notable entry in her discography, offering a fresh perspective on her artistry. With its blend of soulful renditions and Warwick's signature sound, this album is sure to delight fans of the legendary singer.
