SouLutions

Louise Mehan's soaring, soulful and distinctive vocal delivery is the focal point of every track by SouLutions, one of the most popular independent soul music acts in the UK today. To simply say that SouLutions burst onto the UK soul scene in 2014 would not do justice to the time invested by song writing duo Steve Lee & Louise Mehan developing their songwriting skills, to create their distinctive 'SouLutions' sound. Overnight success is rarely sustainable, so in relaying the SouLutions story - those development years are as critical as the last 9 years, which have seen them release 4 exceptional albums 'Destiny', 'Thankful', 'Fate' & 'Anthology' together with a whole host of singles that have shook the very foundations of the UK Soul Charts and deservedly earned them the title 'darlings of the modern soul scene'. They performed at countless Festivals and respected venues across the country. And what about that 'sound', well just close your eyes & imagine a beautiful house of music created from a 'Philly' foundation stone, lovingly cared for, crafted and brought into the modern era and topped off with the truly sublime vocals of Louise Mehan.
