Limited to 1000 copies for RSD 2024.The Flirtations are poised to release ‘Still Sounds Like the Flirtationsâ€?â€?their first album of new material in 55 years. They are best known for their 1969 signature song, "Nothing But A Heartacheâ€? off their debut album ‘Sounds Like the Flirtationsâ€? That song spent 14 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100, and its success saw the group tour with Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones, The Four Tops and The Temptations. “Nothing But a Heartacheâ€?remains an undeniable Northern Soul classic; it has been streamed over 13 million times, and in 2022 was remixed by Tobtok and Oliver Nelson.On their forthcoming album, which was produced, engineered, mixed, and co-written by Ben Rice (Joan Osborne, Valerie June), Earnestine Pearce, Shirley Pearce, and Viola Billups aka Pearly Gates tell the stories of their lives. Drawing inspiration from the churn of personal, social, and political situations that they have lived through over the past five decades, they capture a timeless and well-earned perspective on love and life.The record, which features the Dap King horns, contains standout tracks, including the reflective call to action “Memoriesâ€? co-written by Stevie Wonder; the hopeful love song “Ain’t No Easy Wayâ€?and the instant dance floor hit “Didn’t Anybody Tell Youâ€? both co-written by Grammy-nominated songwriter Gian Stone (John Legend, Meghan Trainor); the uplifting groover “Love Somebodyâ€? and the roaring “Take It Backâ€? co-written by Dave Sherman (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Elle King). The recording process was a transatlantic adventure, with sessions at Abbey Road and Resident Studios in London, Degraw Sound in Brooklyn, and Creative Workshop in Nashville.Retaining the classic soul sound and melodic harmonies The Flirtations are known for, the album will not disappoint long-time fans, while also promising to bring their authentic, inimitable sound to a new generation of music.
