I sette peccati capitali in versione soul. Micha Soul, esordisce con Seven Soul Sins, album che esce per Semai - giovane etichetta indipendente fondata da Andrea Scardovi a.k.a. Duna, breaker di fama internazionale con la Break The Funk.
Seven Soul Sins è un album dal respiro internazionale non solo per l’idioma: sia i cantati di Micha Soul sia le produzioni musicali - opera di Freshbeat e Hiko viaggiano nella tradizione black statunitense più smooth con un piglio contemporaneo. Il connubio tra queste suoni e la voce di Micha dà vita a un album la cui unica patria è il soul, declinato a tutto tondo nell’arco dei dieci brani.

Micha si è dedicata a questo debutto solo dopo aver acquisito la coscienza di aver raggiunto una maturità stilistica e vocale credibilmente solida. In questo senso l’esperienza di Micha Soul & The Funk Addiction, gruppo con cui negli ultimi due anni ha suonato dal vivo cover di ricercati pezzi soul e funk anni ‘60 e ’70, è stata fondamentale.

Seven Soul Sins è composto da otto brani più due bonus track. Sinner, il brano d’apertura, introduce ai sette peccati capitali mentre i successivi sette li rappresentano uno ad uno. Questa rappresentazione di gola (Soulfood), lussuria (Your Touch), superbia (I Can Teach You), accidia (So High), ira (Get Me Mad), avarizia (What They Want) e invidia (Mary Has) può avvenire tramite un racconto emblematico, a volte servendosi dell’ironia, altre volte giocando con le metafore e citando i più grandi nomi del soul (vedi Soulfood, primo singolo estratto dall’album).
Le bonus track dopo una virata tra rap e funk danno una chiusura passionale all’album.

Due gli ospiti dell’album, Brain, rapper della crew bolognese Fuoco Negli Occhi, e Martina May, giovane cantante R’n’B.

Seven Soul Sins esce a Febbraio 2011 per Semai, etichetta delle edizioni musicali Brutture Moderne di Ravenna.

I TESTI

1) SINNER:

I feel so lazy and I am so proud
I am just starving cause I need your touch
I have no money left for you
And all I have inside of me is rage
Cause I envy you
For you’re not a sinner like me

Chorus:
So are you a sinner like me (X2)



2) SOULFOOD:

I can’t stop eating – soulfood is all I got
And I can’t stop moving – so give me another track
I can’t stop eating – soulfood is all I got
And I can’t stop moving – so give me another track

I never feel alone when Sam cooks for me
Feel like a natural woman just as Aretha feels
Oh please don’t call me I’m on a dinner with Al Green
Oh yeah let’s do it again, give me a piece of Mayfield
Let me try some Stevie, have a drink of Jackie
I wanna get some innervision
I kinda get the sweetest feelings
(you got) the right impression
(I’ll never give in) to soul temptations
Can you feel my love breeze deep in my soul
I feel like smoking with Robinson

I can’t stop eating – soulfood is all I got
And I can’t stop moving – so give me another track
I can’t stop eating – soulfood is all I got
And I can’t stop moving – so give me another track

I’m with my soulman, hold on I’m coming babe (ooh-ooh)
I live in a dock of the bay, can’t help feeling so gay
Since I found my box of pearls to share with Sam and Dave
Mrs Acklin is staring at me and she needs a man to bake
Oh please, please, please
Give me D’Angelo to feed my soul all night long oh
I don’t want no wasting time
I have to go back where I belong: with Gil Scott Heron
To have a small small talk
I feel like an acid queen, make it easy on yourself
Cause soul is all I need
And it’s never too much for me

Give me some soulfood (give me some give me some)
Give me some soulfood (give me some give me some)
Oh Give me some soulfood (yeah)
I need some soulfood….

Give me some, give me some, some soulfood
Gimme some gimme some gimme some
Some soulfood



3) MARY HAS:

Mary has a fiancé
Who picks her up with his coupé
He’s known to be the best dj
That’s why he leaves on Saturday

He thinks about her when he plays
He miss his life and Mary’s face
But though he didn’t look for fame
He’s aware he’s a lucky man

And Mary wakes up early everyday
She’s got a job in a small café
She looks good and ladies fancy her
But they can’t help keeping buzzing about her

Ohh
And they talk about things they don’t even know
Ohh
They hope she looks sad cause they might have broken up

RIT: Mary has what Mary is but Mary isn’t what Mary has (X2)

Mary and her fiancé
Who like to spend some time away
They picked a place and met half-way
Spreading their love in a chalet

But Mary had a thing to say
She’s not able to live this way
She trusts him but she lost the game
She can’t stop thinking 'bout what people say

Oh no I can’t believe what I hear – he thought
How can it be – Oh no!
I know you knew how much I really love you
So what It’s all about

Ohh
She looked inside his eyes and there she saw
Ohh
What nobody else will never ever know

Rit: Mary has what Mary is but Mary isn’t what Mary has (X2)

Mary has what she deserves to have
You think she’s happy cause she’s with a millionaire
But Mary has a simple life and sometimes she happens to cry
Cause she’d rather spend more time turning on a dime



4) YOUR TOUCH:

I got a man and it’s been a long time since we’re married and we share our life
(share our life)
I would never ever ever ever believed that this could happen to me
But when I saw you I found you so sexy
And now I can’t even try to eat cause when I think of you I feel dizzy (dizzy)
You’re in my mind every night and day can’t get you out of me
Not even when he is making love to me

And when he’s over my body
I can feel your touch
I want you to hold me, kiss me, moving your body gently
And when he’s into me
I feel your hands all over my body
Baby kiss me, bring me to ecstasy

When I am here in my bed alone boy I need you so bad
When he’s lying down beside me, this is all so crazy
‘cause when I close my eyes it is you I see
You make me feel like I was only seventeen
And then I stay half asleep cause I try to dream
About you and me
Making love slowly
And my mind is twisted cause I know it’s all wrong
But I cannot control I think I’m falling in love
I need you to touch my skin
I need your lips on lips
I think we need to meet
So I can find my peace

And when he’s over my body
I can feel your touch
I want you to hold me, kiss me, moving your body gently
And when he’s into me
I feel your hands all over my body
Baby kiss me, bring me to ecstasy

Now we’re together you and me
Face to face
Skin to skin
Hold me tight
Love me right
I feel alright
I want it all the time
I want you I want you I want you so bad
I want you I want you I want you so bad
Touch me and kiss me
Touch me (touch me)
Touch me and kiss me
Touch me



I CAN TEACH YOU:

I can teach you how to be a queen, but I don’t think you’d understand
I can teach you how to lead the world, but this world is in my hand
I can teach you how to respect yourself and understand what you’re looking for
But I’m trying hard, cause there’s nothing worst than to fight for a loosing was

And I can teach you
How to get the best of everything
I can teach you
How to be the best cause there’s nothing better than me
But I ain’t got time to show you
This life isn’t for you
I’d lie If I told you
I care about you
And If I had some time to show you
This life isn’t for you
I would lie just to tell you
I don’t care about you

Chorus:
If you wanna be just like me, if you wanna be just like me
You will never be just like me if you wanna be just like me
If you wanna be just like me if you wanna be just like me
You will never be just like me if you wanna be just like me

If you can’t stand on your microphone let me show you how we do
Take a breath raise your head I’m gonna give you some bad news
Don’t be mad at me cause it’s clear to see you’re just wasting time
Before you realize this is my time to shine
Listen carefully I won’t repeat anything once more
You'd better get a pen you should sit down and take some notes
Don’t go crying to your mama cause you found
You can’t compete with me
Don’t complain to your friends ‘bout the things
That you cannot be
I can teach you how to be a queen but I don’t think you’re ready for this
I can teach you how to rule the world but you should take it from my hands

Chorus:
If you wanna be just like me, if you wanna be just like me
You will never be just like me if you wanna be just like me
If you wanna be just like me if you wanna be just like me
You will never be just like me if you wanna be just like me

Bridge:
'cause you know I'm doing fine..yeah
you know I shine so bright
so don't you waste your time
no, dont' you waste your time
don't you waste your time


Chorus:
If you wanna be just like me, if you wanna be just like me
You will never be just like me if you wanna be just like me
If you wanna be just like me if you wanna be just like me
You will never be just like me if you wanna be just like me



6) SO HIGH:

I just wanna stay all day in my bed cause I feel lazy
I don’t mind if you wanna complain
Let me live my way
I can’t see the reason why I should spend my time around my neighborhood
I don’t feel like being friedly
This is not my mood
I know I got a lot of things to do
I’m away, In my fridge there is no food

But that’s how I feel right now (that’s how I feel right now)
Wanna chill with me, myself and I (Wanna chill with me, myself and I, baby)
I need to relax sometimes (I need to relax sometimes)
And I feel so high

Yeah yeah, now I guess you understand why I don’t reply to your e-mails

I don’t need no make up to like myself
I don’t need no clothes, when I lay down on my bed
I can feel the air caressing me, moving my curtains like a melody
And I don’t need no other things
To be happy
When everybody lives for money and power
All I live is for the color of flowers
I got to take my tome to read and write
To take care of my body and mind
And then then the night dives
A better day will rise

But that’s how I feel right now (that’s how I feel right now)
Wanna chill with me, myself and I (Wanna chill with me, myself and I, baby)
I need to relax sometimes (I need to relax sometimes)
And I feel so high

Now I guess you understand why I don’t reply to your e-mails
The pc’s off the tv’s off and I can’t even find my clothes
Now I guess you understand why I don’t reply to your e-mails
The pc’s off the tv’s off and I can’t even find my clothes
Let me be lazy
You can call me the way I am
Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy
I guess you need to relax too
yeah.



7) GET ME MAD

I beg you please, stop it
(don’t you see you’re hurting me)
I’m sick and tired of this talking
(do you really wanna hurt me?)
I gave you too many years of my life
You wasted all putting it on the line
Now you think I’m ready to forgive you one more time
But all I feel inside my heart is that I’m ready to commit a crime

I’ve been waiting for you night and day but now it’s all over
I’ve been sacrificing my whole life but now I’ll get over it
I’ve been losing my path, don’t know who I am cause you drove me crazy
And every time I see you behind my door my head’s so hazy

I’m so afraid of what my mouth could say
When you keep asking “baby, can I stay?”
Cause I’ve been here many times
Heard so many times you’d change
But here I am again, all over and over again
But my love for you has gone
Waiting for a brand new dawn
Don’t even try to come closer
You know you’re doing wrong
So stay away, don’t even try to say a thing
I know you’ve been faking it so don’t complain
Every word you’ve spoken made you fail

I’ve been waiting for you night and day and now it’s all over
I’ve been sacrificing my whole life but now I’ll get over it
I’ve been losing my path, don’t know who I am cause you drove me crazy
And every time I see you behind my door my head’s so hazy

You’re breaking off my mind
You’re pushing me to fight
Only you can make me cry
You’re killing me with all your lies
No I won’t give you one more try
I deserve a better life
Don’t say you need me by your side
You’d better leave this house of mine

Oh boy, you know how to get me mad…..
Oh boy, you know how to get me mad…..

Why do you do that?



8) WHAT THEY WANT:

They want my cars, my houses, my clothes, my life, my bags, my diamonds, my waste of time they want it for free without a sacrifice
Yeah
I wouldn’t have any car, any house, any cloth, any life, any bag, any diamond, any waste of time
If I wasn’t his wife
Cause with my beauty
I can get everything I’ve ever wanted
Now that I am wealthy
I can get anything I want

And I can’t be blamed
If they’re not as smart as me
I can’t be blamed
If I’ve been so lucky
I can’t be blamed
Why should I shera my properties
I can’t be blamed
If they still live in poverty

So

CHORUS: what they want from me……

And I am scared of everything
Cause people around me are not for free
They’re looking at me they want me to be unselfish and naïve
This is why they’ll always be friendly with me
Cause with my money
They can get everyhting they’ve always wanted
Now that I am wealthy
They can get anything they want

Now I see

CHORUS: what they want from me….


9) CHILLING waiting for Brain to write the lyrics



10) MY PARADISE:

Verse1:
I’s been a long time since I wanted to say these words to you
You know I love you
You know I always do
It’s not a question of how and when it’s just that you belong to me
The same way that I belong to you
This is how It is meant to be
So I
I feel I’m yours and you are mine
So I
Cannot find the words to say how much I love you

Chorus:
So I’m gonna try with this song of mine
With my lullaby
‘cause you are my life
And you can’t deny that when it’s you and I
We’re like in paradise

Verse 2:
And when talking is not enough what we have is music
‘cause music has married us in the name of love
You got my touch to hold you tight and my smile when you ain’t fine
And if there’s something wrong you know I’m by your side
So I
I’m here to feed you with my life
and I
I know you make me fly, fly so high
So baby I f you wanna try
You can be my husband and I’ll be you wife
