Pamela Ivonne-Cole - Retribution

This is the absolute first time premiere of another track which I am exclusively unveiling here on YouTube, from the next forthcoming album, "Northern Soul 2008", which will be released some time in late June 2008. Pamela Ivonne-Cole sings "Retribution". This amazing and utterly wonderful singer first recorded for me on our last album, "Yesterday And Tomorrow", performing my classic song "On A Crowded Street", which originally was Barbara Pennington's equally popular follow-up to "Fan The Flame", both being released in 1984 on Record Shack Records. Now, earlier this year, that fabulous classic from the mid-80s was interpreted anew in 2008 by sultry soul singer Pamela Ivonne-Cole, who was introduced to me by Tahira Jumah. Pamela is an exceptional and experienced live singer who's performed with the likes of Angie Brown, Daniel Beddingfield, Kym Mazelle, Taka Boom and many more. She did such an amazing job with my classic Barbara Pennington hit that I begged her to write a new song with me and Clive Scott, and I'm very proud, as it's such a major important track for my new album for so so many reasons. Pamela has now sadly gone off to America for a whole year, but finished the song and video for us before she left. The new album, "Northern Soul 2008" will hopefully be released on June 30th on Centre City Records, distributed once again by Passion Music and Pinnacle, and available to pre-order through the new website, http://www.ianlevine.co.uk This new current upcoming Northern Soul album is a sequel to our album from last year, "Northern Soul 2007" which was the very first release on Centre City Records. I have spent thirty two years honing my craft to the point when I am able to produce authentic records like this. There are some small minded people who call themselves fans of Northern Soul who refuse to accept that anybody can make a new record that sounds like the real thing. But with two million YouTube hits, they seem to be thankfully a very small minority, and my YouTube page is officially the 54th most watched UK Music Channel on YouTube of ALL-TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The new album will consist of twenty four brand new 2008 songs by soul and disco legends. Each song has an accompanying video of the artist basically performing it the studio and in outside locations, and the DVD will have four extra bonus tracks too. Because a lot of my fans on MySpace and YouTube kept begging me to do this, I decided to get up and make it happen, so there will be a giveaway DVD with the CD showing the same twenty-four songs, all being performed in the same running order as the CD, plus the extra four bonus tracks. The work that we have all put into this project is quite staggering, and I hope it will break down the barriers between the older Northern Soul stalwarts and a new generation who need younger acts who still produce the same vibe we all witnessed forty years ago for Motown's glory years. Play the CD, watch the DVD, and give new Northern Soul a chance this time. Pamela and I co-wrote this wonderful song, "Retribution", which sounds like a classic Blackpool Mecca record of the type we played back in 1974.
