by Funkstar De Luxe, Lindum, SLG, AL-Faris
Soul River is a very strong follow up of his previous song “reach out for starlight”
THE STORY BEHIND "SOUL RIVER" As a producer/songwriter team, Martin Aulkjær Ottesen aka Funkstar De Luxe and Adrian Zag Zagoritis have worked together on
projects charting with several different releases in dozens of European countries. With strong reps on the dance scene, one day they decided on a different direction with a project focused on a
more organic musical sound and style. And so they wrote and produced the enigmatic, rootsy and soulful song 'Soul River'. With its yearning, thoughtful lyric and melody, Adrian called up longtime
friend, singer and musical partner, Mike D'Abo, to have him featured on the record. Mikes strong vocals raise the song up high.
SOUL RIVER is a powerful and memorable track, a worthy testament to their collaboration. Mike's fame as platinum-selling Manfred Mann's lead singer goes
before him - and his voice, like fine wine, has aged with depth, passion and power. It was perfect to deliver 'Soul River' and its message - and D'Abo didn't disappoint.... Mike D’Abo is a music
industry legend, as lead singer of multi-million selling Manfred Mann and as an Ivor Novello award-winner for his song Build Me Up Buttercup. Hits like "Ragamuffin Man", "Ha Ha Said the Clown",
"My Name is Jack" or his number one hit "Mighty Quinn", are world alltime classic anthems.
SOUL RIVER is written and produced by Funkstar De Luxe and Adrian 'Zag' Zagoritis!

LYRICS / SONGTEXT
I see the starshine
Dancing moonlight
Shadows all around
Whoever sent you
Forgot to mention
The road to higher ground
Are you the one
The key to my survival
Along this dusty road
Reach out for starlight
There’s still some time
Cos we gotta reach for love
Reach out for starlight
Let it shine on through
Forever's not far enough
Think about the long run
Sweatin' in the hot sun
Sheddin' tears like falling rain
Listen to the birdsong
Dark days are long gone
I’ll be riding high again
Are you the one
I turn to for survival
Along this dusty road, oh no no
Reach out for starlight
There’s still some time
Cos we gotta reach for love
Reach out for starlight
Let it shine on through
Forever’s not far enough
Reach out, reach out
Shine on, shine on
Are you the one like the fallin' rain
Reach out, reach out
Shine on, shine on
Are you the one like the fallin' rain
Reach out for starlight
There’s still some time
Cos we gotta reach for love
Reach out for starlight
Let it shine on through
Forever’s not far enough

THE STORY BEHIND "REACH OUT TO STARLIGHT" |
|
Mike D'Abo is a music industry legend, as lead singer of multi-million selling Manfred Mann, and as an Ivor Novello award-winner for his song 'Build Me Up Buttercup'. And as a producer/songwriter, Adrian 'Zag' Zagoritis has had dozens of Top 40 hits worldwide, with 4 Gold and 3 Platinum records to his name. Warm melodies come easily to this duo, and so it was with 'Reach Out To Starlight' - a song which, as they say, "kind of wrote itself, with its strong hook, positive lyric, and overall uplifting message...we wanted to put some good vibes out there..!" Together they wrote and produced the track which also boasts stunning remixes from dance guru Funkstar De Luxe ('Bob Marley's 'Sun Is Shining'), UK House Heroes SOULSHAKER and newcomer Syper, who announces his talent with his rich and cool chillmix. Mike's gorgeous vocals raise the song up high. 'Reach Out To Starlight' is a powerful and memorable track, a worthy testament to their collaboration.
