The Soul Motivators - 'Do it Together', takes the listener on a cosmic trip filled with groove and optimism guided through aural landscapes.

'Do it Together', takes the listener on a cosmic trip filled with groove and optimism guided through aural landscapes. Imagine the Toronto Yonge Street strip in the 70s. Flares, arcades, neon, cinema, record shops - grit and funk. Yet modern beats and rich rhythm infuse each track to lift you up and get you moving.

From the first note played on 'Raise a Glass', the band switches on their classic Motivators mode: hard-hitting, clav-heavy harmonic, smooth horn line, a timeless deep funk track. Next up, 'Power' pushes the TSM sound to new celestial limits - Interstellar synths and drum n' bass inspired breakbeats are mediated by Shahi Teruko's ethereal vocals with the fire and passion of Bettye Lavette and tight rhythm of The JB's. Other highlights include, 'It is what it is' - a smooth soul groover that would easily blend into any Hitsville playlist! 'It tackles the subject of our collective ups and downs, inspiring us to keep moving through the darkness.' With 'Try', TSM channel Muscle Shoals with a deep cut of southern soul.

Since the release of their explosive 2015 full-length debut Free to Believe (Do Right!), TSM tirelessly toured to bring their high-octane live show to the masses. The acclaimed Dirt On the Floor EP, and collaboration with Detroit's Funk Night Records released over two highly sought-after 7' singles, saw them dig deep into the funk crates. The core of the band consists of Teruko (vocals), James Robinson (keys), Marc Shapiro (bass), Voltaire Ramos (guitar), Doug Melville (drums), and Derek Thorne (percussion), with a rotating cast of talented horns and special guests.
