July is a hot month for Bobby!

Bobby Harden’s single “You and I” on Scott Hardkiss’s CD “Technicolor Dreamer” will be released, as a single, with lots of great remixes for the clubs, in July.

Scott pushed Bobby to sing his highest vocal note, ever, on this amazing track. Bobby also sings lead vocals on the title track “Technicolor Dreamer”. Here’s what Magnet Magazine said: “it’s difficult to argue about the truth behind the title Technicolor Dreamer, the long overdue debut album by Brooklyn based DJ and studio savant – Scott Hardkiss. Out on Hardkiss’s own “God Within” label. Technicolor Dreamer is a surreal tapestry of under-the-sea funk fantasies and electronic pop with disco-era studio trim.”

Some Reviews on “Soul Purpose”

“Bobby Harden’s breath-taking voice has brought him his nickname, “The Soul Man from New York”.”

— TZ Newspaper, Munich

“Soul, blues and full of spirit.”

— Abendzeitung Newspaper, Munich

— Soul Bag magazine, France

“…a wonderful voice that conveys the lyrics (he) sings beautifully. (He) must get mad respect from (his) peers.”

New York’s Soul Man

Singer/songwriter Bobby Harden delivers honest, straight-ahead R&B in his debut CD Soul Purpose on Nyota Records. Soul Purpose is a traditional project built on good story lines, generous melodies, solid grooves and powerful vocals.

There is a dependable lack of clutter in the production. The influence of traditional R & B and Soul recordings are brought to life with material that is fresh; songs that command you to listen again and again. The lyrics are drawn from universal emotions that, according to Bobby, “even your mother can enjoy.”

Bobby has earned an international reputation as “New York’s Soul Man.”
