Shemekia Copeland, Alligator's fastest-selling artist ever, returns with TALKING TO STRANGERS! One again, Shemekia unleashes her stunning "whisper-to-a-scream" vocals on a wide variety of blues, funk, rock and ballads, all tinged with Dr. John's New Orleans grooves and backed by his airtight, funky band

Her new CD, aptly titled, The Soul Truth, is the funkiest, deepest, and most exciting statement yet from the woman CNN calls, "a legend in the making." Produced by renowned Stax guitarist Steve Cropper (who also adds his stellar guitar playing to the CD), the album is steeped in the spirit of classic Memphis soul but, at the same time, is a contemporary and up-to-the-minute slice of life. Featuring Shemekia’s powerful, emotional vocals over a blistering band with horns punching in all the right places, The Soul Truth is a tour-de-force of rock, soul and blues. From the funk and fervor of "Breakin' Out" to the timely question of "Who Stole My Radio?" to the rock-powered "Givin' Up You," The Soul Truth tells it like it is, with deep emotion, forceful beats and music that is satisfying, original and memorable.

Throughout The Soul Truth, Shemekia Copeland testifies her music to both seasoned music lovers, who appreciate her musical roots, as well as to new fans, who love her contemporary attitude.
