Signed copy of debut album 'Soulful Spirit' by DaPaul : Throughout DaPaul’s career he has always nurtured the craft of songwriting and in 2009 started on his quest to complete his debut album. This was an independent on-going project which required tenacity, perfectionism and determination. Well, it seems DaPaul achieved his goal when his album ‘Soulful Spirit’ received this review; ‘ We all know what is meant by saying: “It comes from the heart!”. DaPaul’s ‘Soulful Spirit’ is yet another fine example of a well-crafted set of musical compositions which intimately touch on the content of the heart. The music in this debut album is of a consistently excellent quality and speaks highly of the calibre of the accompanying musicians who have contributed to its production. They all represent the finest the UK has to offer! From the gentle refrain of the opening track ‘She’s So Entertaining’ to the title track ‘Soulful Spirit’, this work is imbued with emotional sincerity. The UK has been blessed with singer/songwriters; LabiSiffre, Omar, the late David Lynden-Hall to name only three, who have succeeded in capturing our attention with the originality of their creative endeavour. We have yet another songwriter to add to the impressive roster. DaPaul speaks truly from the heart with ‘Soulful Spirit’. RA HENDRICKS Jazzmo’thology

Pre-order signed copy of new album 'LONDON TOWN' by DaPaul : In September 2014, DaPaul returned from an 8-month tour of Asia promoting his debut album ‘Soulful Spirit’. Naturally being away from family, friends and re-adjusting felt just as strange as previous trips away but something was different .......... He felt at odds with himself and with London and I didn’t know why ........ It took a while to grapple with these feelings and it was only later this feeling would be realised and understood. As a singer, songwriter and musician DaPaul always creatively connects with the world around him. A song that reaches a listener and resonates with life in the moment should reflect musically the artist and his/her surroundings and also more importantly have a sound lyrical content, purpose and meaning. The feeling previously mentioned eventually subsided, it was only after a few months later whilst songwriting that DaPaul was really able to express how he felt at that time, and this was when the title track for ‘LONDON TOWN’ was born in Dec 2014. LONDON TOWN as a song in itself assimilates with our current society, it is about being a Londoner and the legacy of this great city but also lyrically reminds us that all people are more alike than they are different. This up-tempo pop soulful floor-filler sets a meaningful tone and ethos to the album. The following 9 tracks capture the DaPaul’s magic with grooves, soul and well-produced great songs.
