Career
Soul began playing music and writing songs at the early age of 14.[4] Songs such as debut single "Cold", title track "Secrets & Words", "Into the White" and "Long Way Back" all appear on Soul's debut album, Secrets & Words, and were written when she was just 16.[5]
In April 2014, Soul joined the cast of Chaplin's Circus, playing the part of Ruth Etting, an American singing star and actress of the 1920s and '30s.[6]
Debut album
In late 2008, Soul met Chaz Jankel of The Blockheads (formerly Ian Dury and the Blockheads) and Jankel began producing and co-writing[7] what was to become Soul's debut album Secrets & Words.[8] Soul's debut single "Cold" was released through AS:Music in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2010. The album was released one week later on 25 October 2010.[9] In November 2010, Soul was invited onto the Dermot O'Leary BBC Radio 2 show for a live session and interview where she played "Cold" and a cover of the Rod Stewart song "You're in My Heart".[10] On 1 May 2011, Soul appeared on the Aled Jones BBC Radio 2 show for a live interview and performance of her follow-up single "Breathe".[11] On 18 May 2011, she appeared on the Steve Wright in the Afternoon BBC Radio 2 show with her father.[12] She also received spot-plays on shows such as the Jools Holland BBC Radio 2 Show[13] and appeared on ITV's Lorraine Kelly show for an interview.[14]
"Cold" was also released as a limited edition 7" white vinyl through FooFar records[15] in January 2010. Its B-side was an a cappella cover of the Nina Simone song "Be My Husband". Soul's follow-up single "Breathe" was released 25 April 2011.
