HIL ST. SOUL

They don’t make them like Hil St. Soul anymore. The Zambian-born, London-raised artist weaves those two worlds into a rich tapestry of sound, feeling and experience – all bound together by an unshakeable sense of soul. Heard once, Hilary Mwelwa’s voice is never forgotten: rich, full-bodied and gilded with melodic instinct, she belongs in the same world as Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and Whitney Houston. Her 1999 debut album, Soul Organic, became an underground sensation. While the tenets of classic soul are all there, what made Hil St. Soul so striking was how her voice would blend with disco-driven grooves, laid back hip-hop rhythms and gospel harmonies to create something undeniably modern. It was a sound that would define its era and yet remain timeless, still enticing new listeners with its fresh, uplifting spirit more than two decades later. “Until You Come Back to Me (Acoustic)” has amassed over 3.5 million streams on all platforms in the last year alone, her audience expanding sevenfold – a testament to her ongoing appeal. The strength of the song’s success went so far as to earn her a place performing at Glastonbury.
