SoulCare

Soulcare was born as a result of a personal dream, with the idea of gathering talented musicians all inspired by soul music and Jazz and to enjoy as a band the good music. We also all need a supplement of Soul and to take better care of it with the idea to bring us to a different level and a better place for our heart ❤️ and Soul!

Soulcare is happy to announce a new song release, a cover musically produced by Rodrigo Pahlen. When I Was Your Man (Bruno Mars). Available in all streaming platforms.

“I hope he buys you flowers” - Such a beautiful song from Bruno Mars. Life is so short and we have to make sure to give all the love we have at once to the people we love. Regrets and remorse are feelings belated.

Recorded at Sol de Sants studio with Rodrigo Pahlen at Piano, Antonino Restuccia (Bass), Andrea Amador (cello) and Yann Gaslain (lead vocal).

• Mix and Mastering: Patricio Petruchelli (Ibiza)
• Fotos and filming : Fran Echevarria (Aprilstudios)s

[Yann Gaslain] We have been working together since the beginning of the Covid crisis and started recording in studio back in February, 2021.

Q: How would you describe your music style?

[Yann Gaslain] Soulcare music is elegant jazz and soul rhythms that can be both romantic ballad or some arrangement that are more pop or funk depending of the angle we like to give to a song.

Q: 2021 seems to be a creative year for you with eight new singles. Does this have anything to do with the pandemic or just feeling creative?

As it speaks for itself, it is a way to try to take care of our soul and heart during this period. Try to bring something to us and others! Building beauty to the universe!

Q: You recently released “When I Was Your Man”. How do you choose the song you will record and release?

[Yann Gaslain] We use to work creatively together between Rodrigo Pahlen and Yann Gaslain, selecting the song that match with the spirit of what we want to do in general, it is always songs about love.
