NOW ON VINYL!! When it comes to contemporary Finnish Soul music, there simply is no way to omit the importance of Tuomo Prattala. Since his 2007 debut album, Tuomo has blazed the trail in European deep contemporary Soul. Now he's back with new album Reaches Out For You on Finland's Texicalli / Jupiter Records. Tuomo's 2007 debut album My Thing completely stunned everybody withit's deep and rootsy 21st century soul music vibe. On Reaches Out For You, Tuomo takes his brand of deep songwriting-oriented soul one step further. His work displays remarkable amounts of depth and no-nonsense old school aesthetics delivered with a highly personal touch. Echoes of soul classics exist, but the person reaching out to you is none other than Tuomo. When listening to the album, you stumble upon such bursts of sheer brilliance as 'Firsts', 'The Grant', and 'Sweet With Me', among others. This trio of tracks serves as an ample example of Tuomo's talent and variety within. There's old school crooning, steady funk, and get-down soul to be found. Backing up the main man is a wealth of talent in the supporting cast. People like Timo Lassy, Verneri Pohjola, Johanna Försti, Antti Hynninen, Pekka Kuusisto, to mention but a few, spell Quality with a capital Q. Jupiter's core rhythm section ( who have been causing awe at Tuomo's live gigs) is also there, namely Aki Haarala, Heikki Laine, Mikko Kaakkuriniemi plus Mamba Assefa. The new album, then, is Tuomo's big break as a songwriter. This is Tuomo mk2. The show has only just begun.
