CD Baby Reviews for “Soul Purpose”
Soul Purpose

– Martel Allen
Keeper of the flame
Bobby is a journeyman singer whose music is as timeless as love and as fresh as a new dawn, combining the fuel of the traditional with the spark of the latest thing. A true keeper of the flame.
– Roger Bartlett
An essential album, buy it and love it.
Wow, this was the first word that came to my mind after pressing play button in my CD player. Bobby Harden’s voice is one of the sweetest ones on the scene, both the past one and the present one. A voice made to sing soul music. His songs are interesting and arrangements are catchy. The song “What Do You Call It?” should become a classic, as popular as “Soul Man”, “In The Midnight Hour” or “Dark End Of The Street”. For deep soul lovers this is an essential album. Buy it and love it.
– Przemek Draheim, Polish Blues & Radio Host
We love “Soul Purpose”
Internet Music Radio, “Gone Fishing for Blue Skies”, loves the world of Bobby Harden. Personal favorite, “What Do You Call It?”
– cloud nine and cloud seven
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
“This New Yorker offers a soul that could have come from a Southern studio 20 years ago. Absolutely not that it’s out of date – on the contrary, there is a freshness and a punch that immediately grabs the listener.”
— Soul Bag magazine, France
“…a wonderful voice that conveys the lyrics (he) sings beautifully. (He) must get mad respect from (his) peers.”
— Hosh Gureli, Senior Director, A&R, Arista Records
“…a high intense delivery that recalls Little Johnny Taylor and Otis Rush.”
— Living Blues, NY
“Bobby Harden is one of the finest singers heard in ages … nothing short of brilliant.”
— River Reporter, NY
